Forcing yourself to program

Name: Anonymous 2006-01-17 16:15

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.

Some people like to practice cetain skills known as strive, and resilience, I happen to be one of them, of course as is ever so unfortunately happens to be, my nuts continue hormone production, and my skills have not been the best at a time. Though all I can do is pickup and continue, certainly make an attempt at it, it really is quite similar to programming because if you really liked it a lot when would you ever want to run away from it. Or the ideal of course, liking it more than anything, so that there would be no other things that take your attention away from it, howver I'm pretty damn weak as of yet, failed battles all around against sleep, hunger, time, sexual desire and miscellaneous other forces that are working against my will and ability to slam down lines as consistently as I wish I did. But of course, I am continuing to work on it, wish me luck or something.
