What's one habit you want to develop and one you want to drop?

Our habits assist us in growing or limit our ability to do so. It is indeed not an easy job to give up our bad habits and replace them with positive ones. It requires dedication and willpower. How do you define if any particular habit of yours is good or not? What do you practice to overcome it?

I want to be able to manage time more efficiently instead of procrastinating

Replace mindless scrolling with reading 😬

@sachin_shajan Yea, for sure. We shouldn't pressure ourselves with it tho, gradual improvement is still king 😉💪

@niko_dovidija I use Blocksite blocker. And put in all my time wasting sites. Still I turn it off and on like 3 times a day. But what it really helps with is making me conscious of the fact that I am about to waste time. And quite often I see that blocker and say you know what, I don't want to waste time

@niko_dovidija Hey Niko, I’m going around and asking solo developers, what do you use to manage your multiple side projects, brainstorm and explore ideas, track goals, and plan out tasks for apps? Thanks!

Waking up early in the morning and sleep by 11pm instead of staying up late. Although I am working during those late nights, but still want to shift towards daytime.

Develop : Reading Habit 📚 Drop : Waking Up Late ⏰

Atomic Habits by James Clear is an incredible book all about this. i.e. building productive ones and getting rid of bad ones. Changed my whole perspective. I used to be hard on myself when I'd miss a workout. Now I start each day with two cups, one with 10 marbles in it and another that's empty. Throughout the day, I take 5-10min breaks and do a bit of exercise. When I do, I move one marble. It motivates me to move all of them by the end of the day. I get competitive with myself when it's getting later in the afternoon and I still have some in there. Then I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I move the last one. It's all about starting small and building on the habit.
