Attention Is My Most Valuable Asset for Productivity as a Software Developer

Like a tightly written function, I prefer to exit early if no work should be done. So, if you disagree with these definitions and assumptions, now's a good time to stop reading.

  • Sustainable productivity: The maximum rate of quality work output, without loss to the wellbeing of the developer
  • Quality work: Software that meets requirements, is valuable to users, is maintainable, and is as bug-free as possible
  • Attention: The limited mental capacity to focus on a task
  • Sustainable productivity is desired
  • Attention is essential to sustainable productivity

My high-level workflow looks something like this: identify the problem to solve; think on the problem and let ideas percolate; research, discuss, and experiment with these ideas; implement and test the solution; deliver and maintain the solution.
