It seems like we both got the memo for this agenda at the same time. Just add:

  1. Pushing relevant code commits everyday.
  2. Spending less time chatting and making quick phone calls instead.
  3. Replying to emails immediately to prevent pile up

Pushing relevant code commits everyday.

This is really hard, I tried it and I failed. I think that I couldn't fit that with my schedule. Good luck :D

Spending less time chatting and making quick phone calls instead.

Also use voice notes, if the people in the other end are busy and their can't pick up.

Replying to emails immediately to prevent pile up

Foruntunately I receive more span that serious things (Honestly I don't know whether it's good or not)

So far, for me I have been consistent with this because on the side I find small projects that require minor fixes and make contributions to. Also I have a full side project that have features yet to be implemented that I can also push code to. Then there's the alternative of following along with expanded code tutorials, create my own own repo and commit my own code to my repo.

Voice notes definitely work. The goal here being to cut to the chase ASAP.

Well, simply reply to the "serious mails" only! Spam is called so, just because.

I'd like to know what good habits you are developing too.

That's a good idea, I'll use it maybe starting from a small project and I'll add new features.

As a developer I don't have a lot good habits, but I can mention, Use an Ide to write code besides use an linter to write code more cleaner, Memorize shortcuts (You can save time, instead of using the mouse), apply "Single Responsibility Principle", And the last one but not least every piece of code that I use from internet I try to see if this is the best aproach or if I can optimize it.

That's not too much I think and sometimes I feel I'm not a great developer, but I'm improving every day. :D
