1. Creating a morning checklist 2. Don't take rest (2-3 hrs of work, 15 min break. 3. Use eye drops, stay hydrated & Light exercises during break 4. No social media during break 5. Leave time for learning (pick challenging tasks if not, Find challenging tasks to do. 6. Stack meetings together with work. 7. Less showoff, more work (focus on being more productive)

[@learningmaster8060]

Harkirat, I am a Programmer with 15+ years of vast experience in IT. If you sit long hours without a break, you may earn a big bank balance, but you are soon going to get Fistula, Piles, Chronic back pain, Shoulder locks, and diabetes. You cannot even eat properly, you will lose proper sleep, and will be forced to retire early due to health issues. So better go for a slower journey, you have to live longer and healthier. Money will naturally come to you being in IT, but maintaining your health is extremely difficult for IT employees. Consult seniors to know the tricks on how to take care of your health to be able to work productively for another 10 more years.

[@PiyushYadav-pl9jm]

I think sitting for longer hours, but having a 1 hour workout session would be good enough, isn't it? And ofcourse a good diet.

[@mayankgupta2721]

When you get old you will realize it doesn't work that way or any other way. You can run fast but not long.

[@Jagdishrathod07]

​@@PiyushYadav-pl9jm I don't think it works that way, personal experience if you sit for long hours and have a workout later, still you can have lower back issues (slip disc in my case). So a 5 min stretch a leg in between your coding session helps.

[@learningmaster8060]

​@@PiyushYadav-pl9jm Diet plays an important role. But if somebody sits for longer hours, they are gonna get Varicose veins at various parts of the body due to lack of blood flow for hours. Varicose veins at the anal area are called piles. Varicose veins at the back muscles are called chronic back aches. Somebody sitting long hours would have more health problems than somebody drinking alcohol regularly but staying active for longer hours. Humans are made to walk for 12 hours a day and sleep during nighttime. If somebody is not very active for at least many hours in a day, he will get chronically ill. That is why most IT people after their 40s are chronically ill even after eating the most healthy diet.

Listening to you is literally very calming. Idk what you do different, but its like I could listen to you for hours without getting distracted or bored. Its a very strange thing I feel when I watch your videos, cannot really explain what. Plus all of your videos are so information packed yet they are not monotonous to listen (yeah I mainly listen to videos - background play-> less distraction). Anyway thanks for making such content.

[@user-cb8jo3bm3m]

Great video. Very inspiring.

[@eastcoast4233]

Tip: do the to do list the previous working day, not at the start of your day. It’s really helpful to go into your new day focused and knowing what to start with. At the end of your day you will already have in your mind what still needs to be done and what the priority is to do next, leave it and you’ll need to check that all again to remind yourself. If you need to plan this out first then you’ve lost some of that momentum and will have the cognitive load of all the other things in your mind when trying to focus.

[@miyamotomusashi5170]

Hey hi harkirat, It would be great if you create a small video/short about the books you read or recommend us to read. It can be technical/productivity/mindset. Thanks.

[@sahilgupta7001]

this may have given you boost, but the reason you are doing great because because you love to code

[@pranitgandhi6832]

I agree with all the points, except the "Don't take breaks" one. I think it's upto an individual to decide whether taking a break helps him or not. I personally find myself being more productive when I work for 40 min and take a 5 min break, and then repeat.

[@anuraghooda8439]

Don't take breaks is such a bad advice, I've been suffering from not taking breaks, it takes a great toll on your health

[@nusratjahanpiu7012]

for the first time, I heard someone saying "Don't take breaks!" for me, I feel productive way more when I work for a long couple of hours without taking a break but people usually advise me to take breaks which is why I tried it sometimes but dropped it since it won't work for me,,, it's distracting, at least I feel that way... I constantly searched for maybe someone who would agree with me but never found one.

what makes me keep going is that, first i push small piece of code to github and after that i want to make that green dots darker, so i code and push them frequently. Whats your take on this? Positive/Negative Feedback would be much appreciated !

[@asutoshrath3648]

I did that too. It is a fake dopamine boost. Doesn't have any kind of value as the people interested look at the context. What I felt to be really satisfying is breaking the project into modular fashion that with least amount of pushes you get a presentable project. Instead of the classic " doing the project screws and nuts first" model. For example. A scraping page, you can do frontend and backend together as such you will be creating a usable front end for every single data extraction however small or raw.

Hi harkirat! I understood from your videos that taht you do multiple jobs jobs at a time besides full time remote developer. And all they are developer jobs only.

[@shashankkumar5005]

The thing of not taking a break is sometimes good while sometimes bad also Like if you are not able to solve something and you still remain stuck to the task it will not be productive rather if you can take a break and freshen up your mind it might be helpful.

[@shivanshshukla5883]

Hi artificial tears are good but since I have dry eyes since 12 th and my advice is don't believe what even ebst eye doctors say but these artificial tears contain preservatives and in the long run these preservatives might have side effects that are bad so don't do it in the long run atleast get sunlight as much as possible maybe a walk is best if you can outside

[@ATF12345]

- Create a morning checklist of tasks to complete for the day to stay organized and avoid distractions. Checking tasks off is satisfying and keeps you focused. - Try not to take short breaks (e.g. every 50 minutes) when coding, as it breaks your train of thought and mental model. Work for 2-3 hours then take a longer break. - Stay hydrated and hydrate your eyes, which is important for health and reducing headaches when looking at screens for long hours. - Avoid social media breaks during work hours and instead use breaks for learning like listening to podcasts or reading documentation. - Make time daily to learn new technologies or skills, either by challenging yourself with new tasks at work or personal learning projects. This prevents skills from becoming outdated. - Stack meetings together and cut down on them as much as possible when coding to maximize focused time without interruptions. - Focus on being productive rather than just appearing busy. Companies care more about outcomes than face time or impressing managers. So, it's about maximizing focus, avoiding distractions, continuous learning, staying healthy, and prioritizing outcomes over appearances to be highly productive.
