hopfogon Four Books to Master JavaScript Engineering

I can highly recommend "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers" by Nicholas C. Zakas. It's almost a thousand pages but I read it cover to cover.

It explains all aspects of JavaScript in a very clear and concise way and contains the best description of the prototype chain and inheritance in JS I've ever read.

hopfogon How I Learned to Stop Procrastinating, and Love Letting Go

For me, the single most efficient anti-procrastination technique has been Don't Break The Chain. I have a few tasks that I need to complete _every day_ and the point is that the longer the streak is the bigger the incentive will be to continue. It also creates a clear routine which helps a lot on the psychological level (anyone who is into physical training of some sort knows how important this is).

I usually break it up in "do X for Y minutes" and timebox it to 1 hour. Right now it's "read a book for 15 minutes, clean the house for 15 minutes and code on a side-project for 25 minutes". I also have a shorter version for busy days which is basically "read two pages, do one chore and complete a trivial task on the side-project" but as long as I do something it's fine.
