Hey guys,

I have been following HMH for quite a while now and have been working on uni stuff and trying to work on personal programming projects.

However I have reached a point where I do not feel like programming... :S


What I would like to know is how do you guys get over these periods / work through them or how do you stay motivated to program?

Nick

Hi there Nick...

I guess the way you get motivated differs from one person to another. In my case, I would love to see something visual on the screen, so I try to at least draw something on the screen at the end of every session to feel there is a progress.

Another way is to reward yourself. I split the project into a number of sessions and a goal needs to be achieved by the end of each session. Every time I achieve a goal I would mark that and see the total process. After that I would drink coffee, have a walk, take a rest or make some kind of change. Again this works for me, and don't know about others.

Just try to find a way to reward yourself and integrate it to your routine.

yours sincerely
