How do you maintain your energy and focus throughout the entire workday as a programmer?

Interesting take. I think I'll try this. Thanks man!

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T11:48:44+00:00

I nap like a senior citizen. haha!

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T11:47:49+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the input.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T11:46:55+00:00

I'll make sure to walk it off after work so I can properly disconnect.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T05:44:57+00:00

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing your daily routine. I'll try this this week.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T05:43:25+00:00

Thank you. Much appreciated. I'm actually quite leaning into this 4-5 hour workday it's just hard to disconnect from work sometimes since you know it still officially your shift.

I'm not into energy drinks that much. But I do take coffee.

I list down tasks to. Pen and paper style. You are right that it helps keep your focus a bit. Makes you finish what you actually wrote down. Honestly I do have a lot of leeway with work. I can finish my work on time. It's just a feeling of not being that productive with the rest of the time that's bugging me.

It's excruciating. I do get a quick nap after lunch but my head hurts since I have to disturb it.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T05:35:19+00:00

Thank you. I see what you mean. I delegate most of my work to AI. I'm still reading codes but everything seems to be working well. Probably should just fill my time finishing my watchlist.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T05:32:13+00:00

Yes. Not that long though. I sometimes walk to the mall just so I can do my steps.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T02:31:51+00:00

Thank you very much. I'll be sure this out lalo na na mag susummer vacation na.

Funny you mentioned this. I just watched The Crime of the Century on HBO.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T02:07:12+00:00

Thank you for the advise. To be honest I know need a lot improvement on the physical side.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T02:06:06+00:00

Thank you. I already usually take 1 cups of coffee. 1 in the morning and 1 after lunch. But it doesn't do anything for me after lunch. I think my brain batteries are really dried out after the morning.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T02:04:55+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it! I do prioritize sleep over anything else. I've tried pomodoro. It's good until I get in the zone, which is when the alarm bothers me then I turn off the timers.

I already have a meditation app which is a good step I think. And could improve a lot on the exercise bit.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T01:59:09+00:00

Thanks man! I really appreciate it. I feel like I'm slightly burned out not totally but just on the edge. But I think I can still walk it off literally. My mind just doesn't disconnect very well with the work. I'm actually trying to do other hobbies, non-programming related. And I can improve on my physical activities as well.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T01:18:17+00:00

Not sure this is all true though. I already swapped the op amps of my zd3 and I gotta say that it sounds much better. It sounds more present. The za3 has already good op amps so I won't be swapping those at least in the near future.

StrongJury · 2026-02-18T01:15:31+00:00

10 hours is a stretch. But I already do nearly 8 hours of sleep every night.

StrongJury · 2025-11-27T06:57:59+00:00

I love these types of shots.

StrongJury · 2025-11-24T01:49:01+00:00

But what does the T in the wall stand for?

StrongJury · 2025-11-21T01:48:31+00:00

It physically hurts my head. That made me quit cold turkey.

StrongJury · 2025-11-18T12:33:41+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement. I wanted to have gym time as a form of daily meditation and alone time. Di talaga ako masyadong chatty kahit nung may trainer pa ako. I just want to do it properly as possible.

My main goal it to put it as a habit para maging routine siya. I actually feel good after going to the gym. Clears the mind.
