How many of you are binge coders?

Okay. Here's my workflow:

  - block out at least three hours of time
  - stock up on coffee and shutdown all distractions
  - code until my brain breaks.

This has implications for office work, because it means I can't do anything other than randomly browsing the nets, meaning that I go to work all day for fun, come home and binge until I fall asleep. Kind of screws the work/life balance we hear so much about these days.

So. How many of you are truly disciplined about your work and how many just binge?

Sounds familiar. I'm pretty good at putting stuff off until I can't get around it any more. I alternate between periods of constant output and periods where I basically just surf the web and make up for lost time at night.

It's pretty weird though, I find that I am much more productive when the world around me has come to a halt.

It doesn't help that I am very easily distracted.

I am a contract programmer and I get set my own hours so I usually code in 10 - 12 hour blocks every other day.
