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

Are you going to post what you find?

Have you tried Apache JMeter?

Love it! Tweeting it out...

I don't know if this is a repost from someone else, but if it is you, please know someone out here cares. All I ask is that you stop and let someone listen. If you can, please call 1(800)273-8255

I'm sure he has invested some very serious cash into something he should not be spending that much time looking at, and now he wants a return on investment by building a readership; cue the submission bots/friends/family to spread the word.

Yes. Local, state, federal...may not always like my choices, but they are all I have until I actually run.

I do a podcast with two friends on tech, writing...and the comedy is just our ability to find new procrastination techniques, instead of writing: www.typehammer.com or on the iTunes TypeHammer

Other pods on writing and tech I like are: 3 Guys with Beards and Dead Robot Society

and on the old school tech of writing: pedaddict

First and foremost, dancarlin.com for both his political and history podcasts. If you have not heard any of his history podcasts, please give it a listen.

Next would be Marc Maron at wtfpod.com and the occassional Kevin Smith smodcast. Really liking the new Fraiser podcast he is doing with Matt Mira

Dead Robot Society and Narrative Breakdown, because I do a lot of writing

And of course my podcast I do with 2 friends on writing and technology, typehammer.com

Yes, there are no programming podcasts listed. I guessed that is what you may have been looking for, and if so, sorry.

Before I give you my list, here is the most important thing: Write every day. Every day touch your work. If you are blocked, write through the block. Do not make deals with yourself, like "I will write after my enjoy my coffee." Bullocks. Write, then enjoy the coffee.

When you start to write, know that what you are writing is shit. It is supposed to be. It's a first draft, and it's OK. Anything can be fixed, but right now, get that ink on paper.

1. Read, and write notes in the margins. It's your book. Break it. Mark every time there is conflict. 2. Understand that writing is re-writing 3. You will learn more from cutting than writing. 4. Actively critique other writers work (like at scribophile.com) 5. Join a writers group...either online or IRL. 6. Bare your soul.

Websites to consider: 750words.com (write everyday) stackedit.io (simple mark up that can push to gist/github for revisioning) Google+ Saturday Scenes. (Read daily works in progress) www.narrativebreakdown.com podcast (writing craft podcast) deadrobotssociety.com (writing podcast) www.typehammer.com podcast (3 geeks writing podcast)

There is so much more, but what I really hope you take away from this is that you write Every Fucking Day :)

Thank you!
