Another 🧵 on #productivitytip and #LifeHacks

As usual one each day.

Disclaimer: Opinions are my own. I don't have the truth revealed.

I learn a lot with your replies so please contribute and discuss !
#productivitytip 1: Remove notifications

1 - Check your phone after a couple of hours.
2 - Keep an eye on the app with the most notifications
3 - Block them
4 - Don't fear #FOMO. Deal with it
5 - Repeat once a day.

Watch #TheSocialDilemma
#productivitytip 2: Slice your time

1 - Use blocks of time without interruptions (timeboxing).
2 - My favorite is @PomodoroTech.
3 - if you come across new tasks just write them down.
4 - Don't multitask.
5 - You cannot switch until time is up.
6 - 25 minutes it's a good slice.
#productivitytip 3: #Inbox0

1 Keep you inbox ALWAYS empty
2 Unsubscribe to all irrelevant mails (most of the times is a just-one-click)
3 Create filtering rules - out of the inbox
4 If you need to action on mails:
-keep the list out
-create a special folder

Inbox is not a TODO
#ProductivityTip 4: #Flow

Creative work happens on flow state.
Takes some time to enter flow (about 15 mins).
Takes one second to leave it and go to the queue again.

-Remove all external flow interruptions, notifications, noise
-Control all internal

#ProductivityTip 5: #Zenware

Use simple software.
Minimalistic tasks editors like @writemonkey and simple managing software like @trello

Don't procrastinate gold plating your articles, tasks (accidental)

this and many others borrowed from @ekiszkurno
#ProductivityTip 6: #CloseTabs

Manage todo lists and items.
Do not open multiple tabs.
No operating system of web browser handles them very well.
Neither you
Don't multitask.
If something takes less than 2 minutes doit. Else add it to ToDo list.
Web tabs are not todo lists :)
#ProductivityTip 7: #Homes

Every object (real or virtual) should have a home.
We can keep inboxes (or incoming places) for things just a couple of days.
We need brief processes to empty those inboxes.
When emptying those inboxes we should define new 'homes' if necessary.
#ProductivityTip 8: #DailyAgenda

Start each day with a short and feasible daily agenda
U can mix personal and work items or keep them in two separate lists.
Plan for unplanned work

Revisit hourly to keep up
And close it at night.

Never reuse it for next day.
start from scratch
#ProductivyTip 9: #AutomateTasks

Find repeatable shortcuts.
Automate repetitive tasks

It is a two sharp blade. Never automate when DOING a task.
Automating is more enjoyable than doing. #Procrastination

Automate only tasks made on daily basis.
Don't automate infrequent thighs

Code Smell 04 - String Abusers

Too many parsing, exploding, regex, strcomp, strpos and string manipulation functions.
TL;DR: Use real abstractions and real objects instead of string accidental manipulation.
😔 Problems

- Complexity
- Readability
- Maintainability
- Lack of Abstractions

Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection

-@drdavidawheeler
You can mass-produce hardware; you cannot mass-produce software; you cannot mass-produce the human mind.

-Michio Kaku
I invented the term ‘object oriented’, and C++ was not what I had in mind

Knowing the problems is the first step to solving them.

A thread on #CodeSmells 🧵⬇️📅
#CodeSmell 01: Your objects are a bunch of public attributes

Solutions:

2) Protect your attributes.
3) Hide implementations
4) Delegate
#CodeSmell 02: Code has lots of comments

Problem: Comments are coupled to implementation

Solutions:
1) Refactor methods
2) Rename methods to more declarative unes
3) break methods
4) If a comment describe what a method does. Just name the method with this description
