| Programmers who can not sleep because of too many problems |
Computer Learn - For those of you who work as a programmer, must have felt how the stress in facing various problems. Such problems are like bugs, programs not running, or even being chased by deadlines. It can cause stress on our brain. Therefore we must be able to reduce stress during coding.
There are many things that trigger a programmer stress, such as too long in front of the computer screen monitor, the number of bugs, deadline, pc / laptop error, sometimes also personal problems, such as family to romance and others.
Stressed here is a form of tension from the physical, psychological, emotional and mental and this tension can affect the daily performance of a programmer. Not stress that is acute level or mental disorder.
How, are you a programmer or developer who often stress? You should read this way to reduce if / when you are stressed, who knows how to change your lifestyle for the better, and become a productive programmer and have a healthy life.
So how to reduce stress?
There are several things that can be done so that programmer is not stressed, at least can prevent. Those things are:
1. Do not be in front of the computer solely, pause and contact the dear ones
The habit that is often done by the programmer is that he can not get away from his computer or laptop. This is a bad habit where the programmer does not know when he should break or pause to see his work. Get off your computer, call your loved one, or maybe lie down for a moment to refresh your mind to escape the stress. Who knows with that solution will appear.
2. Take advantage of rest time, and go out not in the office alone
Take advantage of lunch breaks, to buy food out of the office, so you do not get bored in the office and can breathe the outside air. Lunch is a break that should be enjoyed if you can discuss issues other than work, joking and watching movies, for example, remember lunch time is rest, so rest your mind from work for a moment. If your lunch has been rationed by the office, you can take time off for various activities. And these tips are powerful because it can be rewarded, stress about coding will subside
3. Listen to Music, do not let your workroom like a grave
This method has also been proven through surveys that are powerful in dealing with stress for programmers. Listening to music that you like for 30 minutes can relieve your stress (according to Research in 2008 by University of Maryland School of Medicine).
4. Open the Humor site, make yourself entertained and laugh off
Open a site that provides content that can make you laugh. Yes, laughter is also proven to overcome stress significantly or even eliminate the stress. Many sites provide funny content such as 9gag.com or 1CAK.com sites and much more, on youtube also lots of funny videos, you can browse there, and search that can make you laugh freely. The point is to find something that can make you (programmer) laugh. Because according to research, laughter can stimulate endorphins, serotonin, and methionine to come out. Where these three substances provide good benefits for the brain so that the body becomes calmer. This method is also proven to overcome the stress of the programmer.
5. Play the game, but do not overdose
Playing games can also cope with stress for programmers, just do not overdo it, and do not play that full strategy game and drain the brain, like DOTA 2 game. So if you lose instead of overcoming stress even add stress. So, my advice, play games that do not play games think like GTA, play Uno cards, Uno Stacko and others.
6. Find a hobby that is not related to the computer, do not say your hobby is coding!
Working in the computer field does not have to have a hobby that has to do with computers. Do not say your hobby is coding, look for other things like sports, cooking, fishing, traveling, hiking, and many other things that can be done to be a hobby other than coding. Do not let your life really be in the world of programming alone, to the extent that you marry your coding. Do not, again do not.
7. Hangout with friends, or loved ones
Eliminate stress by taking time on weekends with friends or loved ones. What can be done? Many. Watching movies, playing games, walking, or maybe burning corn on the back of the house is also exciting. In one week you have two days to have fun and rest, use it as best you can and do not think too much about the job, there is his own quota.
8. Take Leave, Rest and pamper Yourself
Do not be afraid to take holidays or leave when stress levels are high. Take a leave of about 1 or 2 days for a full break at home and do not think about the job. No need to go on a holiday to a place like a beach or a mountain, all you need is rest then use your break time to rest. Pamper yourself.
9. Home to rest, and Quality time with family
Leave the laptop in the office, do not open the home computer to do the work, make the house really to rest. Reading books, playing games, dining with family, quality time with wife/husband (if you already have), use the time outside the office for yourself. If you have a project outside the office, it can wait.
10. Time management
All of the previously mentioned ways are sometimes difficult to accept when stress is caused by poor time management. Work is still piling up with deadlines that are close because since the beginning did not try to do well and effectively. Learning how to manage a good time is the right thing to prevent this from happening. Do not procrastinate work, set targets at the beginning of each day and evaluate the work at the end of the day whether it has reached the target or not, self-introspection every end of the day if not reaching targets and planning what to do tomorrow. When the time is well managed, the stress level will not be too high in the deadlines except when there are other disturbing external things.
11. Adjust your diet
Some foods can make us more stressful again. For example nuggets, bread, noodles, and other foods that contain simple carbohydrates. We recommend that you eat foods that contain lots of vitamins, such as avocados, bananas, tuna, salmon, sardines, milk, strawberries, oranges. In addition, eat foods that contain lots of magnesium such as spinach, tofu, almonds, and others. Without us realize the actual pattern of this diet is very influential on the pattern of our minds, so if we eat foods that make us stress, of course, we will often have difficulty when coding.
12. Do not give up
Abstinence is a trait that is rarely owned by anyone except by the programmer. Because a programmer will not sleep if there are still bugs that occur. That's what's unique. Because if once you give up, it is certain you will fail in making a program. So keep fighting and working hard because it will not be in vain.
13. If you are stressed by a deadline, be grateful that you are the person responsible
This is the thing most often felt by programmers. Where we are really pursued by a very close deadline. However, if you feel stress and confusion because the deadline is so close means you are a person full of responsibility. Try to keep completing your task through to completion!
14. If you are stressed by a difficult bug, be grateful because if you manage to improve you will feel very happy!
This is the thing I like best. Sometimes we often experience bugs that are quite difficult. After hours and even days, we finish the bug until finally successfully repaired, of course, we will be very happy. And the pleasure is really not we will find anywhere. Right? Therefore if you get a bug that is quite difficult, still think logically to solve the bug.
15. As much as possible do not ask for help friends
Why not ask a friend for help? Because according to my experience as a programmer, if we ask for the help of friends then we will be lazier to think to solve the problem because only rely on friends. As much as possible do not rely on others, but still think hard to solve the problem so you will get used to facing big problems.
16. Try googling your problem, because Google is the source of the solution!
Google is the source of answers! If you experience coding problems, try to google, because in google all there is. So do not hesitate to search on google, because maybe someone is having the same problem with you.
17. Do not delay work
Job delays are the most common thing that makes a programmer stressful. Because if we postpone the job, then we will automatically do the job with a shorter time. And this is what makes the programmer often stress because being chased by deadlines that are so close. Therefore do not occasionally delay the work to play around or other activities. Immediately finish the job and you will not stress anymore.
18. Do not stop to try to solve the problem
Do you remember the lamp inventor? Which he said already tried 999 times? The question is, have you tried how many times to solve the coding problem you are facing? It may be a bug issue or other issue. Actually, everything can be solved, just sometimes we are lazy. So keep trying to solve the problem.
19. If the time given to you to complete the task is very short, bluntly say to your boss
Sometimes our boss also does not have a heart hahaha, because it gives deadlines that are too close. If you feel like that, it helps you directly speak directly to your boss so that your work can run well and give good results as well. Ask for a time that suits your abilities.
20. Believe me, the stressful programmer is reasonable
Yes .. The stressful programmer is already familiar. No doubt, but do not be discouraged because people who have other professions are not necessarily stressed. Although a programmer is often stressed out at times of coding, or when thinking solves a problem, or something else, a programmer has a capability that is rarely shared by other professions. The ability is the ability to solve problems in sequence and logical. Because that's what is already embedded in the mind of a programmer, so you should be proud to be a programmer!
Conclusion:
So if you as a programmer feel stress lately, please follow the tips above for your stress can be reduced. Remember that stressful programmer is commonplace. However, do not make the stress as a burden every day of your life.
