Starting is always the hardest part 😢

@ealmansouri

My problem is that estimates for how long it will take me to do something is so wrong sometimes. I've lost count how many times it took me literally 4-5x longer to finish something than I had expected.

@NerdZEY

Me: Let's go, just 5 minutes

Me after 1 hour: C'mon,just some lines

Me after 3 hours: Nah,i will just fix this issue

Me after 6 hours: What time is it? **CHECKS* WHAT THE ***?!









The power of reverse procrastination

@nikunjkhangwal

This will give me extra days to procrastinate.

I heard this quote in "Shooter (2017)" movie. Thanks.

i get anxious because i know im procrastinating. sometimes the work is just boring too... like sure money is great and all. but its like getting paid for homework. you wont enjoy it more because the teacher is giving you some money to do it.A lot of corporations want things that you know wont make a single tangible difference in the world or even in their product. this makes it so theres no tangible feeling of having accomplished anything worth doing.

25% buffer? who is this man, a 10x developer?

By the time I finished uni, I finally learned that the time I need to finish something is usually 2x what my estimations are.
This is because the inside of my mind is an unreachable utopia where code works from the first attempt. But if you factor debugging, testing and the occasional dumb mistake, what I thought would take 4 hours took 8 hours.
Since I started working? Gotta triple that number. Beside debugging now there are also meetings, coordinating with other people and who knows what else.

I bet at least 50% of the people on this video should Google ADHD symptoms - executive dysfunction, or sometimes being unable to start, looks like laziness but it’s life changing to know whether you have ADHD

@Fragmaker456

Wow that's a great idea, whenever I give myself more time I start later because there's more time.

@arsenbabaev1022

I get a big procrastination periods when i cannot solve the problem right away in my head, before starting trying to program it. Some more complex tasks require to start trying solutions and failing, and that never feels good.

@luizzz03

Avoid overloading yourselves with stuff and pay attention to other anxiety causes. So much can make you feel like that nowadays, coding itself can be a reason, but not the only one. 

Take care of your mental health, brothers

@itzjady7504

There would be time when it will take me months to finish a simple project because of burnout and expectations, it really gave me anxiety but when I take a breather and just give myself more time, I started to feel more relief and focus on smaller achievements . I learned that learning  is about consistency not progression.

@zoltanpalvolgyi3655

Yes, true story. When I procrastinate things for days because they look too ambitious to complete but then realize the difficult part is to even start this. When I am already in the process I find a way to solve it. It is fearing from unknown, makes you not even start.

@imnotalawyer

This works when your good at estimating. I do the same thing, but since I was bad at estimating at the start due to being overly optimistic I had to double my estimates...

@gigel69

that ending was really smooth and clever not gonna lie, lies in perfectly with giving urself a buffer

@dushyantnest

So good, soo smooth. Man i love this pattern of your videos so much!

@devsuvara

It did around the ages 23-27… since then I’ve been loving it. Coding for 30 years now.

@calholli

I do the opposite..  IF I have 4 days..   I tell myself that I only have 3 days............  and then when the 3 day is coming to an end,  I remember: "Oh yeah, I still have a whole other day to finish"...    Which always ends up being needed;  because there is always a number of things that you didn't account for..   When I do bids for jobs, I shoot for twice the time and twice the price;  to scare people away.  And if they still want to do it, I usually come later with a lesser number, to let them know I saved them some money somehow.  And people are ALWAYS happy to hear this.

@Jason-ot6jv

I double or sometimes even triple my estimates. Sometimes there is delays due to disagreements in PR reviews making you need to take a different approach which will take more time and this is sometimes out of your control (depending on the company you work at)
