Forcing yourself to program

OK, so I'm self employed, which is to say, I live with my parents and have no formal income.

I'm working on an app that I think is really interesting, etc. But I find that whenever I come up to some annoying part, I work on it for like 10 minutes and then browse the internet for an hour.

SOme days I can work for 5+ hours without breaks, just because whatever section is interesting. But most days I end up going to sleep pissed off because I only did like an hours worth of work and wasted the rest of the time on the ienternet.

So give me tips, how do you get yourself through that incomprehensible yet somehow boring and repetitive code? I figure some of it is just because I dont have any sort of plan or anything for what i'm going to do (the app is pretty original) or when I'm going to do it, has that helped you? I've got no CS background or anything and i've always thought flowcharts were bullshit, but obviously some people like them.

I was working on it for like 6 months before i realized it was shit and started over, which was good for about a month but now i'm running out of steam. Yesterday I spent reading manga and today I tried to come up with a new meme for /b.

Sorry if this is bosnian, i wrote like 20 lines of code today. Fuck.

Indeed. In my current case it is often the insecurity on wether the design I've laid out will work or lead to a lot of extra work (Like currently working out a strategy for 2d collision detection). Then looking over what I've already done, and starting to note down an extra 10 issues of which at least one I have no idea on how to solve without bogging down the framerate to half. Luckily since this is my own project I can arbitrarily set restrictions on what is possible or not, and if someone asks me about an issue I can say "I don't care" without much percussions. Hate jobbing for money, despite how much useful shit I learn.
