Jayenkai	So, yeah.. Lots to do, but today I spent the day cleaning my desk up. .. I think I'm not in a coding mood, lately. Not really sure why I'm even posting this post. Just wasting more time. How best to focus? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	Whenever I need to focus, I sit down to make a drawing. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Stealth	I think not being able to focus is a lack of discipline. Stop thinking of ways to motivate yourself and just do it. Open up your code editor right now and stop contemplating it. That's what I do. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Jayenkai	Tried that, this morning. I spent 3 hours drawing a sprite that really could've taken me 10 mins. I think I'm just too tired, today. .. ..... shrugs -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

j\\'ordos	Whenever I get something like that I go and help someone else with their work... Honest!

Afr0	Yeah sometimes it helps doing something different altogether. If you don't want to draw, make multiplayer Pong! That could theoretically be played by thousands at a time! (Or add multiplayer to TetriPong - even better) -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

JL235	If your not going to work then don't think "I'm not working but should be". Instead just embrace not working to the nth degree. It's much healthier then not working whilst worrying about it. Otherwise work. End of.

Afr0	I have to say this. 'End of' annoys me to the nth degree, because it's not grammatically correct. 'End of story!' 'End of rant!' 'End of factual information!' 'End of post!' You cannot just go 'End of!' -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

waroffice	I run in to this problem sometimes too, i find that when in this mood my output is not as good and end up having to do it again. I think you should relax and unwind for a bit do something meaningless, like the Buddhist monks do to meditate. I find i have my best ideas while a) trying to sleep 2) should be working or iii) in the shower. trying to force yourself is not good for your reputation --- also, i often find asking for help on a forum be it coding or assistance with some other project makes me focus on the subject more and actually write down what my problem is so hopefully you saying your procrastinating should actually motivate you to work

Jayenkai	Yeah, that's something I do a lot, too, and usually end up cancelling my post because I've actually managed to solve my problem just by writing it out! odd one, that, isn't it! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

mindstorm8191	Well its not unusual - I've done it plenty of times... and sometimes don't realize the answer until after I post it. -=-=- Vesuvius web game

dantheman363	Sometimes it helps to make a list of what needs done and then work on those items one at a time. -=-=- Extraterrestrial Grail
