Hey guys!
I was going through the thread below and I was impressed and curious at the same time...

https://www.nairaland.com/6519071/remote-work-experiences-remote-worker

How do you guys stay on a particular project/work for at least 5 hours with maximum productivity without getting tired easily? I noticed must of you work long hours like you're computers.
Do you guys take caffeine or any stimulate to keep you charged to work a long time?
I'm been trying to learn some skills with my phone and I gas out easily. I'm not happy about this as I've given myself a timeline to master certain things but it's not pulling through.
How do I work long hours and become effective at the same time?

Sheriman:
I even code more than 5hrs per day. What gave me that edge was a serene environment that is free from noises and any kind of disturbances.
There is always light and a very good New ASUS Laptop M409BA model of 8Gig Ram and 2 Gig AMD Radeon Graphics card.
Sometimes my neighbours thinks I have travelled because I hardly went out.
Programming is fun at the same challenging. I love it and I like it.

ProfAmaben:


Thanks for the advice. Money really has to be made. Working 3 tough jobs in different time zones with little sleep warrants excessive caffeine.

For me I don't code throughout the day. The maximum amount of time I spend coding a task at a stretch is 3hrs. After that I will take a break where I surf the internet, listen to music or sometimes even watch an entire anime episode. Infact I'm posting this message from one of my 'breaks'

ModestGal:
Wow
This post makes me feel people are lazy. I work non stop for 10hours on standing while doing dreads for people.
When I do graphics, I do from morning till night, when I'm sewing cloths I do from morning till night with only short breaks for prayers and when I'm not praying, then its a non stop till I finish.
I remember when i was in university, When I read, I read for 24hours with short breaks for solat and water.
If its by hardwork,I should be a billionaire by now,but I'm still not. Being wealthy ain't by hardwork

Martialb1:
My guy for me environment na one great factor people don too underrate. If you are in an environment with serious programmers who code on a steady you'll find yourself coding for longer hours. Another thing my guy is ur DETERMINATION oooh. E no easy at all oooh so if u no get strong determination it might be difficult for you. And finally have a fvkin good playlist with great lofi beats, they help a lot and will help you too.
Wish you success

Hardwork alone may not make you wealthy because you need a combination of things all together. You need a combination of luck or prayer, open mindedness, good decisions and friends who will constantly give you information.

Recognize your strength and capitalize on it, from what you wrote:

1. You can make clothes.
2. You can do media graphics.
3. You can read for long hours.

Which one of these can give you quick money and you're better at? Capitalize on that.

You are just like me bro. I make my millions in my room. Some people even think I do yahoo yahoo. Because I dont go out. I am always indoors with my laptop working.

Anytime I am tired I enter YouTube to watch comedy or listen to music.

ModestGal:

I agree with everything you said except the word luck you mentioned. I am anti-luck person because its more of a negative than positive.
Meanwhile, non of those would make me a billionaire or even a millionaire. Would just keep me among average earners which I dislike, I'm currently ruminating on ideas that would make me a billionaire, if you have better suggestion, kindly give. Also,please don't mention prayers or any old beliefs that never worked for any Nigerian. I'm a realist

HalpyBee:
It takes discipline and motivation to work productively for long hours. With those two, you will deal with short attention span.

alexbacker:


that's unfortunately kinda hard for me. I can't really concentrate for a long

I'm a Chemist at OAU.

I'm recently working on a combo of two edible organic constituents in powder and liquid form that works like magic with no side effect at all.

I'll launch the product once ready!

Caffeine may not be good for you on the long run brother.

ProfAmaben:


Thanks for the advice brother, my present supplement stack include:

I. Wellman
2. Vitamin C 1000mg
3. Zinc 1000mg
4. Fish oil for Omega 3
5. Reload for men (3x a week)
6. Creatine Monohydrate (to retain musculoskeletal mass i.e to prevent muscle wastage from long bouts of seating) etc.

Despite all these, I still feel very weak and tired, I hardly sleep well, the only thing that keeps me going is coffee, coffee itself has lost its potency in my system, I have to drink 6-9 cups per 8hrs of coding. It is not easy.

Bro since you’re already on Fish Oil, cut out the Wellman, Vitamin C and Reload For Men and get a good vitamin B complex. The easy explanation is they contain nutrients you need in barely there doses and a host of unnecessary fillers. Also get a good quality Fish Oil, it’s going to contain Vitamin C and D ... make sure you get at least 5000mg Omega 3 a day and 10000 iu Vitamin D a day.

Since you’re taking Zinc, you should add magnesium to regulate your body’s zinc and you’re also taking too much .. you should take between 25mg to 50mg a day. You’ll feel nauseous if you’re taking too much.

As a guy Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin D work synergistically and should boost your natural testosterone levels making you feel very good.

Supplement your caffeine with L theanine, it makes the caffeine stimulant effect smoother with less jitters, L Theanine makes you calm, focused, zen ...

Since you’re on Creatine, you might aswell workout to get the Creatine gains, it essentially just makes your muscle absorb more water and if you’re carrying that water weight while being sedentary, you’ll feel weaker compared to your normal baseline.

justmondris:


Maybe you should try using a laptop to learn the skill and also, don’t make the mistake most starters make in learning a new skill I.e trying to do 10 hours daily right from the very first day of learning the skill. Just go with your pace and start as low as 1hour or 30 mins daily and increase it gradually.

In learning any new skill, consistency is the secret to mastering the skill. Learning the skill 30mins every day is far more productive and better than learning it 15hours once a week.

That daily consistency will make your brain to fall in love with the new skill you are learning and you will start enjoying the new skill and become addicted to it.

Try this approach and you will be very proud of ur self after few months but don’t forget to give God all the glory

Hey, I like this innovation. If you are open to receiving investment in commercializing this at scale pls send me a message request and quote this message to notify me.

@Quietpain
Phone will also get you tired and stressed out easily. You should get a machine for this.

1x2x3:


Get yourself modafinil pill and 7hrs will be like 2hrs. No brain fatigue and you will get insane focus.

ProfAmaben:


Excellent analysis. Thanks for taking your time. The L Theanine you just mentioned, is it sold separately? What brand do you suggest? I want to get it tomorrow if possible.
