Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

    Do 1 hour a week. Schedule it to make sure it happens.

    Consistency is more important than volume.

      Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. What I usually liked to do is stream my working process on YouTube or Twitch even though nobody watched, for some reason the act of streaming while I was working made it for me more important to be more focused and I felt I had greater clarity because I felt I had to explain my ideas out loud.

        I like the idea. The only thing is I would worry it would add extra effort to the whole process, making you think “oh now I have to setup the stream and everything… Nah”. And just programming might seem much easier to “just start it”.

          Yeah, that kind of thing usually is. But for some reason for streaming it isn’t. Discovered some weird brain hack of mine.
