I just redid a bunch of old code I wrote years ago it was pretty hacky and unpleasant.

Why?

I was feeling good about what I was doing and I just kept going. I was on a roll.

Many of the changes that were on my list to do that day weren’t directly related but I was in a good mood. Things are working so I did a bunch more.

When you get that good feeling it makes a huge difference in the outcome.

If I had felt bad or overwhelmed, I probably wouldn’t of been nearly as ambitious.
