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.

It's just a tool.  Do different shit that makes programming secondary, and let the CS knowledge become beneficial to what you're working on.  Wordpress might be small potatoes around here, but you can take your knowledge of OOP from beginner CS classes and turn it into a business that makes MONEY$. 

My goal is to get a bunch of websites bringing in stupid amounts of adcash so I can bang eager Mexican whores in Acapulco whilst owning a modest Internet cafe.  Why force when you can follow your passion...
