There&#x27;s a writing tip that you don&#x27;t quit until you know what the first sentence you&#x27;re going to write the next day is.<p>I haven&#x27;t tried this for coding, but the equivalent would be not to start running a test until you know what the next function&#x2F;method&#x2F;commit you&#x27;re going to make is. Even if you have to screw around looking for potential problems in your code, or potential places to refactor, don&#x27;t run the tests until you know what that next thing is going to be.<p>Here&#x27;s the actual Hemingway quote:<p><i>The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable thing I can tell you so try to remember it.</i>
