Staying Motivated When Debugging Life Feels Tougher Than JavaScript

Lately, I’ve been hitting a wall where debugging life feels way more complicated than untangling a messy JavaScript function. Between juggling work, personal goals, and the occasional existential crisis, it’s easy to lose steam. I’m curious what’s your go-to “code hack” for staying motivated when things get overwhelming? Do you have a mental breakpoint you set, or maybe a ritual that helps you reset and refocus? I’d love to hear how others tackle those moments when motivation feels like it’s stuck in an infinite loop. Bonus points if it involves coffee or a good analogy to quantum physics!

When life feels like a tangled function, I take a step back and focus on small, manageable tasks like breaking down a complex problem into smaller functions. A short walk or a cup of coffee often helps reset my mind. Sometimes, I even revisit old projects to remind myself of how far I’ve come. It’s like debugging: one line at a time.
