Have Discipline to go 100% not 95%

Keep notes - I use blogger.com

Write documentation - writing man pages has forced me to fix corner cases

Having projects with real users - they are annoyingly good at finding errors

Turn on -wall, keep coding until you get none

Often the best place to solve the problem is AFK.

Healthy body, healthy mind - combined with the above I like to bicycle, an hour in the pedals pays you back. Cooking proper food yourself from real ingredients feeds your brain.

TMTOWTDI - dabble in languages you don't use as your main such as Forth / Scheme / Assembler / J / Factor / Brainfuck
