dprophecyguyon Ask HN: Books like “Crafting interpreters” or “The ray tracer challenge”?

I tried codecrafter but it has too much of a jump without providing any guidance or anything for a person who might not have much knowledge about building complex projects.

I really love the idea of building small projects where you conquer one problem at a time.

As an idea there could be nothing better than codecrafter but i would like some additional reading material / guidance in terms of moving forward when you are stuck.

If i am doing something wrong let me know, would love to know how can i tackle these kinda problems.

dprophecyguyon Ask HN: How to Deal with ADHD?

You have to be absolutely true to yourself and honest about the things that distracts you.

And you have to put system in place to stop things that distract you.

- I am using blockers on my laptop and my mobile because these are the two things i interact the most with.

I used to heavily browse youtube during the day and in evening used to have a lot of work which used to get pushed to the weekend. I got sick of this and then i started blocking everything for during 9am to 7pm.

Apart from that look for other things which sucks energy out of you. And add few things that gives you extra energy.

Few things that gives energy could be - Gymming - Evening Walk - Taking a shower - Short nap

I am using "Cold Turkey Blocker" on my Laptop and "Stay Focused" on my phone. It has reduced the time i spent distracted and thus i've gained bit more time for productive things.
