How do you “Do as as I say, not as I do”?
Have a good schedule
Stop checking the news.
Grab a book before sleeping rather than your phone.
“Done is better than perfect.”
Don’t Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case
Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.
as a swiss german (we capitalize nouns for those who don’t know), I sometimes automatically capitalize nouns when writing in english, especially when I just wrote something in german. Its a habit and at least for me, its really hard to prevent me doing it.
Same is for when I wrote mucn in english before, then writing something in german. Then everything is in lowercase.
“Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.
I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.
Be kind to yourself
It’s not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven’t gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don’t do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I’ll most likely never do it again.
I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I’ll just think to myself that I’ll never top that and give up. There’s something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.
“Your life is worth it, don’t give up!”
Right as I think about my own suicide plans.
I feel like a hypocrite.
Always add tests to your code!
True that haha
In practice, I live by “never write any code that’s important enough for anyone to insist on testing it” 😎
Don’t eat a entire box of thin mints.
