Great post on productivity. It looks like you have quite a few. You should post this on the challenge forum in the “important links” thread. I think we’re all going to need some extra motivation soon.

I totally agree – habit can often overcome lack of motivation. Motivation becomes more of an issue for me as the week wears on – I’m all worn out by Friday! Fortunately, mixing fun habits like martial arts and yoga with work make the blogging and coding more motivating.

I am very familiar with the experience you describe, Dave.

Ugh.

Ugh. I hate this. I hate you. I hate myself. I’m sitting here with my 1 cuppa in a puddle of loathing and disgust (hahaha) as I punch the timer to pound out this morning’s article. Yes, it’s late. Sue me. Sure, I could close it and publish it, but it would be pap, not worthy.

Bah.

Works the same way for going to the gym. Just have to gut it out.

Yes, having a regular schedule and getting enough sleep are important for productivity! One habit I’ve started is “working around” fun activities – I know I might be up late at night or taking a day off to travel. So I plan accordingly and get things knocked out ahead of time.

One of my challenges with writing (and programming for that matter) is finding the block of time to focus solely on it – even if it means writing locally onto my laptop in a cafe, on my own, without internet access or distraction…
