How many of you are binge coders?

6 pointsby jamesotronover 15 years ago
Okay. Here's my workflow:<p><pre><code> - block out at least three hours of time - stock up on coffee and shutdown all distractions - code until my brain breaks. </code></pre> This has implications for office work, because it means I can't do anything other than randomly browsing the nets, meaning that I go to work all day for fun, come home and binge until I fall asleep. Kind of screws the work/life balance we hear so much about these days.<p>So. How many of you are truly disciplined about your work and how many just binge?

Sounds familiar. I'm pretty good at putting stuff off until I can't get around it any more. I alternate between periods of constant output and periods where I basically just surf the web and make up for lost time at night.<p>It's pretty weird though, I find that I am <i>much</i> more productive when the world around me has come to a halt.<p>It doesn't help that I am very easily distracted.

I am a contract programmer and I get set my own hours so I usually code in 10 - 12 hour blocks every other day.

Guilty as charged.
