    This happened to me yesterday(well,most the time), I was working on a web scraping script and I got stuck as I couldn't figure out what broke my code all of a sudden .For almost an hour I was going through my whole script and trying out different variations hoping something will happen.After an hour of doing everything I possibly could I finally decided to take a short walk (while just letting my mind flow) ,spent around 10 min away from my table ,came back ,opened my laptop ,opened the script ,went through the script ,something struck me,instantly the browser tab , searched google,went through a couple of links,made some changes(I don't even remember what I did),re-ran the whole script and wallah! All in under 5 minutes! Like magic! Something I couldn't do in 1 hour ,done in minutes time. The reason why I wrote about this is because you just have to let you mind wander , like water , don't keep it rigid,all the time, ,with all your thoughts and worry.

    I'm learning to code on a totally difffent computer system so that really makes me pay attention to what I am doing. Although, I can only pay attention for a maximum of 2-4 hours if I am completely in the zone but that's total dedication. I have 10-30 min breaks to just not look at code and do anything but what I am trying to do just to mentally relax those muscles. This is all going to be put to the test in a week and a half with my coding bootcamp. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I'm trying to study right now but it's feels like it's overwhelming so I try to just learn what I can even if it's by video format and I am not coding at all. I do try to code though.

    Going mph can definitely cause burn out and in the end hurt your overall ability to learn. When your battery is going on empty, nothing is really settling in. And when you finally get a break, it takes that much longer to recharge. In my job I really try to pace myself. I go for a walk every morning and after lunch to clear my mind and see sunlight. Email notifications can also break your concentration when you're in the zone. I make sure I have my sound bell off so I can't hear it. :D

    I often take naps during my breaks. Quite a lot of them, actually. Naps of 10 minutes more or less. I'm not working right now but I'm studying insanely and those breaks are ESSENTIAL. If I don't take a break during a long period of time I just... die.

    I recently doubled or even tripled the productity by blocking all social stuff from 11PM to 5PM next day. I turn off internet on phone, block YT and all social networks and just set up timer, get coffee and go. Such a liberating experience, definitely recommend ;) btw. I used blocker with password access, set up long password and forgot it.. super reliable :D

    My Asperger's dictates I have tunnel vision by default and as long as I get in the mode to learn or do programming I'm engaged 100%. There seems to be no limit to the depths of my thoughts and that is definitely a double edged sword in life. My problem is that I don't want outside distractions when deep in thought and they happen with just the slightest noise or whatever, because I don't live alone. anyway, it's neat seeing the stark differences of individuals who can wind up doing the same things or having the same interests and abilities.
