How Do You Stay Focused While Coding?

Setting clear, short-term goals can really help. When you achieve a small milestone, treat yourself to something fun! Gradually, as you get used to this, you can tackle bigger goals that might take longer to complete.

I feel you on distractions. It's all about creating the right environment. I make sure my workspace is free from anything distracting. If I'm sitting in my chair, that's coding time! Also, I use focus music from places like brain.fm to keep me on track for focused sprints.

Make sure you're actively engaging with the material. Instead of just watching tutorials or reading, take notes or code along with the lessons! If you're zoning out, it might just mean you need more rest before diving back in.

I don't focus on coding itself, but I focus on what I want to achieve with coding. Whether it’s building a game, a tool, or something else, having a clear purpose can definitely help maintain your focus.

Try multitasking a bit! You can have a coding video playing while also using a text editor to write code. Just split your screen and keep learning in an interactive way to keep things interesting.
