Productivity
Apr. 30th, 2013 11:50 amWhen coding, being in the "flow" helps. There are well known methods how to enter and how to keep this state. Some of the methods are more or less applicable for everyone.
For me, the top three factors that help getting the "flow" are
1. Interesting work (not unusual),
2. Deadline approaching soon. (I am not proud of this fact but I guess it is common),
and my favorite: 3. Being just on and around a trip to customer. In that case, flying somewhere helps the most, then goes ICE train, then driving, then using public transport. (The mean I use for travel depends on the distance). I have no idea why it helps me a lot. By the way 80% of the worthwhile ideas related to my work come to my head when I am travelling for business :).
Anyone has similar experience?
