Programmer

It doesnt matter if youre working on a side hustle or if youre a junior developer wanting to get noticed and promoted. It doesnt matter if youre a lead developer looking for a change of pace, from a corporate gig to a start-up or the other way around. It doesnt matter if youre jobless out of college.

As long as youre a programmer, no skill is more important to your success than focused, deep work.

A 1x Developer?

A 1x developer (yes, I made this up) is a developer who can do the job theyre hired to do. Nothing more, nothing less. Seriously. Any company will be delighted with that.

A 10x Developer?

*A 10x Developer means that some developers get more done, with better quality, and in less time. They do it consistently over the long run without working any harder than anyone else.

This ability is not a natural gift. You arent born with it and its not something you can turn on. Its a skill that you can, and must, practice and train.

Developer 10x Skill?

1. Learning to Focus is HARD.

The first thing to realize is that learning to focus isnt easy. Youre not going to be able to start producing novels of quality code from the start. Especially if youve never dealt with the reality of how easily distracted you are.

Learning to focus requires practice. Anything that requires practice means its difficult. If it wasnt, youd be good at it by default.

2. Dont Confuse Busyness with Productivity.

Distracted work is your energy going in every direction like the sun. You can stand outside in the sun and youre not going to get hurt.

Learn to concentrate that scattered energy with a magnifying glass and your ability to destroy goes from 0 to 10. We want to preserve that limited power for important things (the sun goes down eventually).

Step 1 Removing Distraction

Multitasking is a lie. Youre fooling yourself if you think you can write quality code while checking Slack messages or reading news in another window.

Removing distraction is the foundation of focused, deep work.

Put your phone on silent

Close any other apps

Step 2 Pomodoro Technique (The Secret Weapon)

Work for a 25 Minute Block.

Youll work for 25 minutes, undistracted, on one thing

Then Take a 5 Minute Break.

It is imperative that you walk away when its break time. Grab some water. Browse Hacker News. Go to the bathroom. Whatever it is, work is over. Disconnect from work completely.

Remeber No MultiTasking BE Honest With Yourself.
