Routine coding? Really...
So, I am on this writing challenge for the fourth day now and this writing is also making me code as a routine. Coding was never a part of my routine as something 'I want'. It was rather a job. But since I have started writing on Android and sharing my experiences, I urge myself to discover further in Android or in some other language. It did not start out as fun but now, it is becoming fun. So, these are my day-to-day experiences that I am facing:
1. What can I explore today?
I start off with a question of what can I try out today for fun. There is no agenda that I have to complete a project by the end of it or there should be an end result. Naah..no stress at all. I simply tinker with the logic that is there, experiment with it and try it out with other forms of input.
2. It is ok to start again from blank board
I always had a fear of starting again from scratch. Back from scratch was equivalent of me being a loser, a failure and who had to start back again. Currently, since there is no end result in head, the process is all that matters.
- Am I having fun?
- Am I laughing?
- Am I learning something? If I checkmark any of the three points, I consider it as a success and starting again from black board - isn't that part of the process? So, I am here to just enjoy the ride.
3. Fun = Do more
When there is fun, I want to automatically do more of it. It makes me happy.
So, all in all: routine coding..really? Currently, yes because it is fun and I am enjoying it. So, a yes for it
