There are many times I get “writers/coders” block – when trying to do work.

Staring at an empty page, an empty class.

And all you can do is start, you can start doing something, anything related to it – don’t go off and do something else, do this, that one thing in front of you – take that page, that class file and make it do something.

For the next 20 minutes do nothing but fill that page and that class, and when you’re done – you will have something, it might require some edits and refactoring, probably a good round of Grammarly and unit tests, maybe some other libraries and spelling reviews.

But at least you’re no longer blocked.

(and who cares what others think).
