wow!

Seriously, I think this guy might be me! Or at least we appear to have a similar outlook as far as getting shit done is concerned. Except for the nap thing. Might have to try that. After I look at these LOLcats…

4) Drink a coffee and take a 15 minute nap
If you’re anything like me you probably work in cycles of going balls-to-the-walls with inspiration writing the best code of your life, to unproductive downtime of feeling unmotivated and looking at lolcat pics whilst saying “heh” periodically. The worst enemy of a productive mind is fatigue - I pretty much know that if I don’t get something “done” before sleeping when I’m in “the zone” (I’m making scare quote gestures as I type, which is impressive), I mess up my pace and the next day it’s unlikely I’ll pick up exactly where I left off. To prevent this I have a simple solution of drinking a cup of coffee and then taking a short nap. The nap is enough to give your body a rest, and by the time you wake up the caffeine will have started to do its work - once I shake off the nap, I’m good to go for another 3 or 4 hours.
