Some time ago, I got a fever and was sick for a few days. Something strange is happening ...
Because as organizers, much of what we do every day is on our minds. Right? Not as an athlete, when he has to use his body to the full. And a runner has to use his mind too, of course. But it is not the same with us. To create the code, to do our job, we have to be able to focus ... hold focus internally.
We develop this skill over time. So we become competent in it, without realizing it.
As it turns out, when I get a cold or a bad cold or something, one of the first things to calm down is my sharp mental ability. My ability to focus, to focus on creativity.

Coding when I'm sick? Fuggedaboudit.
I can overcome that with a lot of hard work, a little bit ... but I really accept that when I get sick, I will just sit for a few days watching movies, sleep a lot, and focus on not thinking about the internet.
But that's fine: when I do recover, my mind goes back to normal.
All of this reminds me of our most important resource these days ...
And it’s not money, of course. Although that is an important source.
Is it time? No, actually. I don't believe so.
In my opinion, cavalier, higher, there is another resource that is more important than your time:

In my opinion, cavalier, higher, there is another resource that is more important than your time:
Your attention.
Especially in today's world. When almost everything around you is carefully designed, a-b-split-tested, and completely redesigned to get your attention ... whether you want that or not.
You know exactly what I mean.
So the big secret to the most success in today’s world ... in my bold, humble, shameless view ... lies in how you can win this battle of your mind. The battle for your most precious source: your attention.
This has a lot to do with the system, right?

And think of what you planted in your beginning today, or yesterday.

If you had that day again, would you focus on the same things? Is there an option to ignore?
Not giving a skill you can get better at. So if there was something you were paying attention to, you shouldn’t ... ask yourself how you can keep your attention to the most important things, the next time it happens.
I have found that the better I get by not allowing outside forces to take my attention away from me, the better off I get a lot of things - but especially the coding. I would like to know if you will find the same for you.
