The next day, the code just flows from my fingers to the keyboard the second I sit down. Works like a charm and I’m right back into it. Just delaying the gratification of seeing another bug crushed.</text></comment>

Maybe obvious, but I agree, critical, and a good thing to make explicit to oneself.&lt;p&gt;The author presents a lot of seemingly complex tools for this. Mine are, I believe, simpler -- a TODO list in .org mode (goal and next), and git log (for what just happened, always with --name-status to show what files were affected how, and maybe with -p to show the diff).&lt;p&gt;But you could use anything.</text></comment>
