2. Find a work flow that keeps you moving forward no matter how slowly. here is mine. Basically design, top down then code bottom up, testing each piece as you go. An example of when I finally get to coding.
a. write the comment for the function
b. write the signature
c. write the tests
d. write the internals of the function
It will never almost never work out that perfectly but you should have the goal that, when you are done with that function you should never have to look at it again*
* you will. I do. Being perfect would be nice, but it just isn't going to happen.
