    I often step away from my computer and do some menial task like washing dishes when I need a breakthrough idea to just come to me. Since working from home, I have become a lot more productive AND the place is tidy.

    Best work is born during Focused thinking; best ideas - during Diffuse thinking

    This information is highly document by Professor Barbara Oakley in her course "Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects" and her book "A mind for numbers". The only critic I have is that the word is pomodoro and pronounced pow·muh·daw·row. It's Italian for tomato

    Watching Coding Tech to switch into Diffuse Thinking works best!

    Great video. Minor nitpick on the pronunciation of Pomodoro!

      I recommend you to download an app that tracks the time you use your phone, since I have one I reduced a lot the time I use my phone because it makes you feel shame xD StayFree is a good one

    At 5:05 are they meant to be 'a's or 'd's? (I realise on RUclips's font it's obviously 'a' but I've seen calligraphy fonts where it could be a 'd' if elogatged just a tiny bit more).

    It's difficult to achieve flow with coding because of all the context switching.

      @@8koi139 You can't just be focused on one thing as with writing, drawing or other forms of work. With coding you have constantly shift your attention from one thing to the other and most times those things aren't even related which disrupts flow.

    Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the Lord bless you all, and farewell!
