Last thing you want to do is to start with some big project that have a lot of moving parts. But remember to take a break from coding sessions- it'll help you regenerate and think through whole project which gives you retrospective, what worked, what not, what was overkill, what was underestimated. At the end it's not only coding part that matters but also everything around like analysing, planning and so on. Coding is final stage like putting cherry on top the cake ;) **@winens** · 21 upvotes > Nice video! **@domdelbuco** · 10 upvotes > Def works, I hear joining in person code meetups are a great way to stay sharp and motivated as well, I'm surprised there's not that many in my area even though I'm near a university ): Guess I'll just have to be friends with yall! **@jadedev101** · 9 upvotes > Well said! I've always experienced this when I list down my goals and it really helps me to code more =) > > One tip also when achieving small goals is to set a deadline since there are some times when you procrastinate coding and it will make your progress slower so setting a deadline really helps for me. 😁 **@westhegenesis** · 6 upvotes > I like the way you went about exposing how you do it and why and I’m for sure going to try!👌 ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#career](https://daily.dev/tags/career), [#productivity](https://daily.dev/tags/productivity) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-make-coding-addictive-630fmwa0q)
