Public Sticky notes
Many of my days go like this: (1) get into work (2) check email, read the web, etc. (3) decide that I might as well have lunch before getting to work (4) get back from lunch (5) check email, read the web, etc. (6) finally decide that I've got to get started (7) check email, read the web, etc. (8) decide again that I really have to get started (9) launch the damn editor and (10) write code nonstop until I don't realize that it's already 7:30 pm.
Somewhere between step 8 and step 9 there seems to be a bug, because I can't always make it across that chasm.bike trip For me, just getting started is the only hard thing.

It took me another fifteen years to realize that the principle of Fire and Motion is how you get things done in life. You have to move forward a little bit, every day.

I remembered this for a long time. I noticed how almost every kind of military
strategy, from air force dogfights to large scale naval maneuvers, is based on
the idea of Fire and Motion. It took me another fifteen years to realize that
the principle of Fire and Motion is how you get things done in life. You have to
move forward a little bit, every day. It doesn't matter if your code is lame and
buggy and nobody wants it. If you are moving forward, writing code and fixing
bugs constantly, time is on your side. Watch out when your competition fires at
you. Do they just want to force you to keep busy reacting to their volleys, so
you can't move forward?
