I've tried so many pomodoro-type tools. I always eventually revert back to old habits. Nothing permanently changes. Has everyone here permanently become more productive via a tool / app?
Not an app, but touch typing. Life changer not only for coding but for all types of typed communication.
The idea behind touch typing is pretty useful in a lot of places. If you can improve something you frequently do in a way that it’s fast and error prone without checking, your productivity can improve greatly. For example, writing runnable code in a text editor without IDE.
What is touch typing? Typing on a touch screen?
