walking away from the problem...sleep, shower, some activity that flushes the mind, is a great way to overcome a block, be it programming or creative.

In programming, is it more a logic block than a block based on fear, such as "writer's block"?

you should have a chat with your hosting company...

I am wondering if comments should be broken into two categories: 1. only show comments from people who live in my area/region. 2. only show comments from the higher rated commentators.

The reason for the geographic region is to promote communication and ideas in a more localized meaning.

As to higher rated commentators, why not a rating system for commentators? Amazon does this, to some success.

Chrome on a mac here...your fonts are quite jacked up. check your console for errors.

Getting bounced out of the Air Force. I should have fought it, should have held my ground and proved I was being set up. I had a witness willing to stand behind me, but my 19 year old idiot of a self said fuck this. That was in 1983. I have a great life, but it still hits, that regret of walking away.

this comes highly recommended from a friend http://courses.reactjsprogram.com/p/reactjsfundamentals

...and there's the rub, isn't it? "free" All kidding aside, if you can afford a few bucks, look at the Wes Bos series.

I write a lot of fiction, and co-host a writing/tech podcast, so a lot of recommendations come from other writers, as well as topics in the podcast. I really dig when someone is so passionate about a book they want to share with a stranger.

Goodreads as well.

I see a LOT of book spam on Twitter and Facebook, none of which I have ever bought. Free download maybe, but no purchase.

For the past year or so I've gotten into watch repair. Small tools, fine motor skills, mechanical wonder at what people were doing 100 years ago. Highly recommended, but be warned...it addictive.

For some it may help to understand the root cause of procrastination, but that in itself can lead to procrastination by trying to understand...procrastination. So don't.

First off, don't reward yourself. What I mean by this is don't make a good cup of coffee to settle in and get the work done. Start the work with a set timer, say 15 to 30 minutes. Once the timer goes off, then get the coffee. You may find yourself in a groove and go past the time. This is good. Second, remove your distractions. This is easy to say, but it is much harder to achieve. Turn the phone off, lock off the social media. Set yourself up with a schedule to check your email. Turn off notifications.

Sounds help, but don't let the need to find the right one turn into procrastination. I like http://rainycafe.com/ as it drowns out office noise, or at least mutes it a little. Here is an interesting article on this topic: https://medium.com/life-learning/how-music-affects-your-prod...

Curious to see what others put here. This will be my procrastination today :)

I built a newsletter tool that signed up for its members and aggregated the data into singular emails, but be received at a day/time of the users need. On paper it worked very nicely, and beta it worked pretty well. But no funding, no fun, as they say. I still say there is a need out there for something like this.

I put in for an invite. Would love to review this for the writing technology podcast TypeHammer.com

PageSpeed Insights shows 56/100 on mobile and 74/100 for desktop. Seeing that your target audience is probably younger, you may want to boost that performance for mobile.

Move that "make my day" button higher up, and on the left. Eyeballs go there before the far, bottom right.

The first screen doesn't really tell me anything. It's just a bunch of pictures of "pretty" people with small text. If that is by design for your users, then right on :)

That button CTA and page speed are two big items I see right off the bat.

Hope that helps
