In my perception, one of the “biggest rocks” is getting more exercise, not only cardio, but c++ coding too. Sometimes the “rock”
feels so big that no matter what I do, i can't get myself any exercise. I admit it's a motivation and priority issue.
Setting aside 5 min a day might help …
Getting a computer set up and always ready with the necessary tools might help … Imagine a separate room…
Bring the IDE to library helps.
Icecream or chocalate might help.
Freeing up time might help….I feel I need a 1-week vacation to “drain out” the chores and have real capacity left for serious
coding.
