Your habits as a developer

I'm a strong believer that good habits are the way to success. James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, has put it really nicely:

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

That's why I try to create habits that help me become a better developer and remove the ones that don't.

Here are the 5 main habits I try to practice to become a better developer

• Come up with a plan BEFORE start coding
• Read tech articles/tutorials at least 30 minutes per day(Dev.To as the main one)
• Work on a hobby project at least 3 times a week for 1 hour
• Practicing non-tech related activities every day (reading, cooking, playing the guitar, etc) for at least an hour
• Work out, exercise at least 4 days a week

As you can see, some of them are code-related, some of them not. But they all contribute to me being more productive and efficient as a developer.

I'm planning to write a longer article on the topic, so I'd be really interested in...

...what are the habits that make you a better developer?

(or the habits you're trying to get rid of)?

Oh and if you are interested in topics like growth mindset, developer lifestyle and technical tutorials, then make sure to keep an eye on
