I just put my ear buds and select music according to my mood and my task choice. I have around 10 days of music on my iPad, all sorts of styles.
Sometimes, however I need to select a pleasant task knowing that I am not in a mood to tackle a p.i.t.a. subject. These times are very low on my mood scale and do not occur often. A good example, in the last three weeks I have been working on patching rotten hospital accounting processes using Clojure. It's all event driven, asynch,... but ultimately, you deal with debit and credits and money persistence in a database which cuts the fun by a few orders of magnitude :( It's been driving me nuts. I am competing with a messy front end and carving out a way to get these things to run and balance properly. These are rough times. Of course, I could have been forced to do this in PL/SQL, it helps to put things in perspective a bit :)))) I have a pile of fun things waiting for me to do. Like they say, push back the gratification as much as you can and think about the other worse options (PL/SQL, Cobol, PL/1, ...) out there to keep you going... Luc P. > Hi.
