After reading all the comments I have a few questions. How long have you been programming and what are you running from? Prolific programmers are running from something. Loneliness, low self-esteem, etc. while programming you don&#x27;t think about life. GTD sounds like a miserable existance to me. I&#x27;ve heard&#x2F;read countless articles on how to become a better programmer while reading the same amount of articles explaining burnout. How many CEOs practice being a CEO when they get home from work. How many mechanics are being a mechanic for fun when they get home? Programming is a job. Every time I hear learn a new language a year I puke a little in my mouth. How many of you remember your code 6 months down the road. Please don&#x27;t push being a workaholic on the OP. The OP is normal and all the people trying to convince him&#x2F;her otherwise are dillusuonal.
