Keep Calm and Start Coding: Fight Coding Anxiety
Bro if you overthink, you’ll never be truly wealthy or even happy .
Getting over it is what allowed many programmers to build successful SaaS , and start their own business.
1- Focus on major tasks
Make a Daily List .
Mine is done with the top 3 tasks you need to accomplish on your day.
Focus on critical items related to your project and resist the urge to get sidetracked by less important tasks.
Prioritize progress over perfection and tackle the most important things first to finish your app fast .
Prioritize tasks :
start with task < 5 min to do
urgent + important —> Get Shit Done
important —> plan to done them later
urgent —> delegate or automate them
2- micro tasks
Break Down Large Projects into Manageable Tasks.
This can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed and make it easier to take action.
Celebrate each milestone along the way to maintain motivation and build momentum.

3- Set Decision-Making Limits
It’s time to improve your brain, just as you know how to improve the performance of a server.
There are 2 levels of neuroticism:
## Withdrawal
## Volitaily
The simple solution is a set timeframe to gather data and weigh options, then commit to a course of action.
4- Kill Perfectionism
When faced with a complex problem on your app, try the “good enough” approach. Instead of striving for the perfect solution right away, aim for one that meets the most important criteria and move forward. You can always iterate and improve later.
5- Go Work Out
If you’re stuck on bug, take a break and engage in physical activity.
Go for a walk, do some stretches, or hit the gym.
Stepping away from your laptop and getting your body moving can help clear your mind and provide a fresh perspective.
6- Practice Self-Compassion
Recognize that overthinking often stems from a desire to do things well. Acknowledge your good intentions, but remind yourself that perfectionism can be counterproductive. Embrace the learning process and be kind to yourself.
You Are Not an AI
7- Get Support
Sometimes, verbalizing your concerns can help you identify the root cause of your overthinking and find practical solutions. Don’t be afraid to seek support and guidance.

8- Don’t Analyze Until the Project Is Over
While working on personal projects, we find our self spending more time than we should on them because we feel like we can tweak them and make them look better
Your code will never be perfect
It’s a harsh truth, but a truth nonetheless, and personally it took my quite a while to accept this.
Bouncing off the idea of overcoming perfection above, it’s still important to remember that you need to study yourself to determine what’s working and what isn’t. “Done is better than perfect…” You have to get done to be perfect.
Remember, progress is more important than perfection. Don’t let the fear of making mistakes or not having all the answers hold you back. Take action, learn from the outcomes, and keep moving forward. Embrace the journey of continuous improvement.
