Before going into the technical stuff, I want to share some of the things I have done that helps me a lot, a lot more that I would have thought.

First, I stumble on that Ted Ed video a couple of weeks ago:

In short, it tells you how bad it is for your body (and your brain) to sit for too long. I decided to change the way I work since then. That is, working upright. Not only it’s good for your health in the long term, but it really (and I mean REALLY) helps you to stay focused, awake and alert. Woking almost 17 hours straitght or more in one day is not normal, so you need all the small tips you can have to avoid loosing too much time on dumb bugs made while you were pseudo focus. To do so, I just move my laptop from my desk to my kitchen counter, helped with wooden wine boxes.

You should try it!

I also use my wall painted chalkboard that we made for my kids. It’s at least as useful as Trello (when working solo) or mindmap softwares and helps you change your eyes focus from time to time, which is perfect for avoiding headache and expose all your ideas, all at once!

Finally, take walks. Go outside for 15 mins, try not to think about your game. The subconscious is very effective to find solutions when you dare to let him work. Remember Archimedes and is Eureka? Einstein dreaming about riding a photon? Newton and this apple? Our conscious brain is powerful, but slow and singletasking, our subconscious though is ridiculously efficient. Sometime, it’s best to step aside and let him do the work…

btw, if “you wanna know what love is”, come and try my game!
