Soft Side of IT

Procrastination is pretty universal & this also affects developers. I remember when I was programming in university; I would try to solve the entire problems/assignments in my head before I start typing a line of code.

This is a way of planning a solution for programmer. Although this only works until it reaches a certain limit … then it cross the line of procrastination.

I just got the go ahead last week from ITToolBox for the soft side of IT blog. I was excited at first, I started dreaming of what to post on the first post. Now I realized that I have been procrastinated on posting on this for over a week. The first 2 day, it was probably planning, but after that it slowly became procrastination. To stop this, I started to write random points to get pass being stuck.

Planning is fine, because it does save time when you can find some efficient way to doing the work; but when you think way too much, planning becomes procrastination.

When you are unsure about a solution, do you start drafting the document or coding a prototype? I will give this a try as well.
