My body tires, so I respect its wishes.

I say goodnight to my work, minimize all my windows, and prepare for a restful slumber.

I am working on ticket A. I find something that could be fixed or refactored, but it interferes with keeping focus on the scope of ticket A.

I immediately create a new ticket B to describe the desired change.

I continue working on ticket A at full speed.

I post about "positive practices".

They are notes to remind myself of such things.

I write them in the present tense, because the best time to act on a positive thought is now.

I share them, and they become more powerful.

Do you find yourself keeping a Subversion tree for your project similar to this one?

http://myproject.com/svn/
  branches/
    featureful-23/
    fancy-47/
  tags/
  trunk/

Do you find yourself checking out paths like this?

$ svn co http://myproject.com/svn/trunk/ MyProject

And then, do you find yourself switching to a branch in your MyProject directory, like so?

$ svn sw http://myproject.com/svn/branches/featureful-23

Do you ever find it tiring that you have to type that URL so much?

The Python script below might be useful for you then!
