Well, there's reason that there's so many programmers with at least mild autism. One of the symptoms is obsessive focus. Can work wonders in coding.

Otherwise, I tend to ignore most of these "connect to your inner power" things.

I don't dispute their validity (usually), and have friends that have done things like the Tony Robbins courses and Lifespring, and whatnot. It seems to have helped them. It's just not the way I feel like going.

I do have a personal process that depends on a fairly rigorous self-discipline. Not many "shortcuts." Does seem to work.
