Ask HN: How to maintain focus during long, critical-thinking intensive, tasks
Hi HN,
As my career has progressed and I have been given larger and more complex software engineering assignments, I am finding that my ability to focus seems to diminish in proportion to the complexity/longevity of the task at hand. How do you all achieve prolonged periods of focus throughout the day? I am especially curious what those who are in a startup, in-office, environment would say as these tend to be very "personal" (i.e. I can't lock myself in an office).
