Software Development and Motivation

Reading this blog recently, you may wonder what my recent posts have to do with software development.
Software development takes up much of my life. I think about it during my leisure time.


I program forward, sideways, and back a few steps. I get bored and wander off to do something else.
By finding motivation I can complete a program for my employer and move on to the next great project.
With my ADHD coach, I’ve discovered that I’ve had my work all wrong. I’ve tried to force myself to stay at my computer and try to work, even when my mind is done. I need to take breaks, or I start web browsing, or playing games, or something.
Taking a break means walking away from the computer and doing pushups, getting tea, or getting food.
