for me, the key in this is to mean it. i.e. to really let yourself stop after the first line if you want to. 90% of the time you'll do much more anyway, but it doesn't work unless you allow yourself to give up after 5 minutes the other 10%.



Yup. You have to completely let yourself stop after 1 line of code every time.But you'll find that you won't.

At that time I start a pomodoro timer so that I can keep making sure it's useful progress.
