How to keep coding even when it gets tough?

Break down goals

There are two types of goals you need to keep in mind. Long-term and short-term. Short-term goals are best for keeping your spirits up. These are your victories, completed daily tasks. Long-term goals are needed in order not to burn out and to know why you are coding at all. It could be a new job, a home built, a move abroad, a revolutionary product. Anything.

Mix code with fun

In addition to other cool things, programming also includes a great hangout, in which there are many like-minded people and potential friends. Try to connect in communities, create and share memes, and use all these fun features of programming to the fullest.

Celebrate small wins

Tracking your improvement and celebrating small wins is just as crucial as completing work tasks. So just take a moment from time to time to relax and reflect on your accomplishments. Do you already feel this taste of success?

Do something creative and share it with the community

Learning coding just for work can get boring after a while. To keep yourself motivated, think about all the things you've always wanted to develop. Then use your coding skills to implement them most simply. Show your results, get support and good wishes, as well as advice from colleagues.

Create the optimal work way

Agree with your boss about the schedule that allows you to be as productive as possible - evening hours or night, morning or office style. To work in pleasure and please everyone with the results, you need to feel good. As a rule, chefs allow you to work in the way that is best for the soul and body.

Get a pet

The animal will allow you to take breaks and not feel guilty. Need a rest? So feed the cat or go with the dog for a walk. In 99%, a change in activity helps the brain to relax and gain energy. You can talk to animals, you can stroke them. This is a real live anti-stress!
