Coding Night
One of the harder things about being an independent hobbyist developer is that there are just so many distractions: emails to respond to, internets to browse, twitters to tweet, etc. But one thing that I’ve found that really helps me focus is to get together with friends and do a coding night.
It’s nothing fancy, I just invite a couple friends who are also working on iPhone projects over and then we just sit and code. The fact that there are other people in the room gives me just enough pressure to keep on working on my project instead of checking out the latest weird video coming out of Japan.
