Before I got my full time job coding, I worked part-time coding with pretty loose deadlines. I found that entire weeks (sometimes months) would go by before I managed to force myself to do the work. It wasn't because it wasn't interesting... I just struggle to get that initial spark of motivation. Once I get it, i'll work 8 hrs straight until something steals my attention away.</p> <p>Now that I'm "forced" to code 9-5 everyday, it's easier to fit both coding and other activities into a single day rather than doing a month of each. lol</p> Yeah i struggle with this too..

Now that I’m “forced” to code 9-5 everyday, it’s easier to fit both coding and other activities into a single day rather than doing a month of each. lol
