Re:Leave work slightly unfinished for easier flow the next day by skerit on Friday December 15, 2023 @03:48PM (#38658615)
Agreed. Leaving work unfinished, knowing what to do next, is for me the best way to be unable to fall asleep at night. That code just has to get out.

I have no problem stopping something when I feel stuck though.

Write it out then, quickly, before you stop. On paper, that is, with a pen/pencil. Write in pseudo-code if it helps get it on paper faster. Stick that to your monitor or under your keyboard, it'll be there the next morning. If you got it right, typing it in will be easy. If, the next day, you see things differently, you will be past the first draft.
