This isn't actually a motivational technique, but whenever I find myself doing this it's usually because there's something distasteful about the remaining chunk. Often that means I have yet to find an elegant solution or structure to apply, or maybe it requires contacting a lot of people to get missing information, or maybe it's just boring.
What works best for me is to resolve to power through it, holding my nose if necessary, get it done and turn my back on it. No reward, celebration, nor admiration. Make it history.

I fixed an issue for a client last week.
Worked well on my machine, but not so well in production.
Save a time, for example 08:00, and see it change to 10:00 (the application runs on UTC in production while I'm on +02:00).
TIME ZONES!!!
Impossible to debug, or so I thought!
I remember having a similar issue some years ago.
However, times have changed (pun intended!).
In the Chrome developer tools, go to the three dots -> More tools -> Sensors and change "No override" to the time zone of your choosing
Didn't make my bug less annoying, but it did make it A LOT easier to debug!
I'm a bit less scared of time zones now

It was never impossible. At worst it required using 2 computing devices to run your client and server on different time zones.

This looks a lot easier though.
PS For anyone else who clicked the menu item repeatedly wondering why nothing was happening, it loads something into the bottom most pane of the dev tools.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was making a change, adding A LOT of logging statements, pushing to Azure and running there while inspecting the logs.
Of course it's not impossible, but tedious at best.

So you can play Wordle earlier than me.
|
|
|
|

Is that the secret? I changed my computer's timezone to NZ to see what would happen, but Wordle wasn't fooled!
|
|
|
|
|
I don't change any timezone on my computer. I live in India, and play it when it opens up for me. Usually I play at around 6:00 am my time.
|

I recalled that you live in India, but I thought you were also implying that Wordle would be fooled by changing the browser's timezone. I hadn't tried that, but I did try changing my computer's timezone and changing my VPN to Auckland--no luck. So I wonder what they're keying on. Maybe they have a cookie that knows I'm trying to be cute.

I remember that a resident of UK had solved Wordle within around 6 am India time, before i could. I wondered whether he used some VPN functionality to change his time zone. But as you say, Wordle cannot be fooled like this. So he must have kept awake till midnight his time, which is 4.5 hours behind us, and solved it.

I think mine opens up earlier than yours anyway.
I can play again in 15 hours, but you only posted seven hours ago.
So 00:00 for me, and I'm usually still awake at that time
I'm waiting for you to post the first one though

Mine opens up in 11.5 hours. I don't stay awake till midnight to play mine. I play usually at 6 am India time.

what is a programmer who spends more time debugging their language/framework than debugging their application ?
as I said recently in another post:
Gist: I miss you chaotic/challenging/wild/inspiring lot ... a lot !
Constraints on my health and time (how dare my body get old !) have meant rationing my CP time.
The challenge of creating a new jewelry business where I select and buy gems, design custom rings and pendants, and interact/collaborate with the local (Thai) craftsmen who manufacture using typical by-hand jeweler's bench techniques (not 3d design, printing, etc.), of setting up stores on Etsy, eBay ... has gone from a part-time hobby into a project that takes up most of the 4`5 hours a day of screen time my eyes are good for.
No longer time for soaking up the latest/greatest really innovative probes of space-time boundaries by folks like Honey-Witch, Gianni Yiannopoulos, Mehdi Gholam, Marc Clifton, Pete O'Hanlon, and many others. To savor the technical excellence of OriginalGriff, Richard McCutchan, Richard Deeming.
No longer time for the daily struggle to teach newbies how to learn what the docs would tell them ... if they looked, if they knew how to look.
Well, as Heraclitus said: 'panta rhei;' perhaps, as Kong Fu Tzu (aka Confucius) said: 'They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.'
And, keeping in mind Machiavelli's famous dictum: 'There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.'
... as you just saw, the quotation-buffer in my cognitive capabilities is still ... intact at age 78

Just bear in mind my friend, that growing old is better than the alternative!

Good luck with your business. Even if your CP activities are curtailed, I hope we keep hearing from you for many years to come.

Have you tried Windows Narrator? You wouldn't have to focus as much and could listen to the messages. May not be applicable but just trying to be helpful.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Thanks Mark, What I do requires ... reading with the eyes.
Praise be for audio-books ... they have enabled me to continue my passion for literature.
cheers, Bill

Tonsure
160kph = 100mph = ton(slang)
certain = sure
A tonsure is the hairstyle favoured by monks
