If you're used to the Sport Hydration mix like me, you"ll find the taste of this mix quite different. Used it today and it tasted salty, not sweet. For a sedentary person, it might be ideal instead of them gulping down sugary drinks but likely they've never even heard of Skratch.

So far so good with this stuff. I used to hydrate with 2 bottles of Hydration Sport Drink Mix (50 mg of caffeine)) and that worked but felt the amount of sugar was too much for me so I decided to swap one bottle of it for a bottle of the everyday drink mix (zero suga)r. My cycling workout seems to be about the same without doing so much sugar so I will stick with this combination for now.

Really helps to keep the engine topped off and strikes the perfect balance of flavor to quench and satisfy the sweet tooth. Cold salty marg mixed with cucumber lime hydration mix for the extra hot workouts, flavor town usa

I love the flexibility to customize my hydration and carbohydrate intake independently of each other! Sometimes you just need hydration and the Everyday mix is the perfect solution. Love the salted lime flavor.

While I enjoy the OG Skratch hydration mix, I always had to try and factor in the calories in this mix while planning my event or training nutrition. And let's face it, math is hard! With Skratch Everyday, it is simply hydration - no extra calories - so energy intake planning is easier! And because there is no energy element, I can confidently add this to any water bottle, any time of day - just because! It's tasty, mixes easily, and is truly an Everyday product. Thanks Skratch!

I don't know if it's possible to get more flavor since the point of this is it's supposed to be light on calories/carbs and just have electrolytes, but for my palate I'd love a touch more. It's a great thirst quencher though, and certainly doesn't taste bad to me, great on a hot day when you're sweating but at exercise intensity, for example I had a cold glass of this on a break from mowing the lawn and it hit the spot.

I have used Skratch labs products for years and have always been amazed by their science and research, their innovations, and willingness to listen to their customers needs. I have never tried the everyday hydration drink mix. When slated margarita flavor dropped, had to try it. Not disappointed. It is both refreshing and salty, exactly what is needed on hot summer days when electrolytes needs replenishing but you don't want to add calories. When the order arrived, I was shocked by the small size of the bag compared to their other multi-serving bags, but yes there are 30 servings. Comparing the scoops sizes it is astonishing when sugar is removed. It has become my go to additive for day after race/training drink and on hot days working in the garden. It fits my needs perfectly to not add sugar on recovery days and will become part of my normal restock. It is a must try if you have not done so already.

For example, a person might aspire to go for a run every day, eat vegetables every day, and read every day. If they did these things every day (or most days), these activities would constitute part of their everyday routine.

Inspired by the incredible work that Jennifer Dewalt completed last year, in which she taught herself programming by building 180 web sites in 180 days, I felt compelled to try a similar tactic: working on my side projects every single day.

I still work on refactors, docs and similar stuff some of the days. I also love midnight coding, though sometimes it extends to 4am coding and I am not so happy the other day when I check out the code I wrote at 4am :P

Those are the parts I need to improve the most, but I fully agree with the post and the advantages of writing code every day.

This resounded with me. I just came to many of the same conclusions you touched on. After years of continually starting and never completing side projects I came to the slow realization that something needed to change. I also forced myself to code everyday (weekends included) and developed the habit of doing at least a couple hours first thing in the morning. Thanks for the post and reaffirming the benefits.

I found small, running pieces add up to actual software faster than you think. The wrong kind of sitting and thinking slows you down more than you think. Actually making stuff is motivating and maintains momentum. The bit about problems percolating in the background as you work is totally true.

I found this post extremely reassuring. Also struggling with motivation time to take on and maintain side projects. It does seem that you have hit on a method that works for you. I hope you are able to continue with this level of self discipline without it becoming a chore.

I am now 65 years old and have been working on an application I first started working on in 1978 before most of you guys were born. I am now in partnership with one of my oldest customers and work for his business about 45 hours a week, modifying and supporting my app for his company and also supporting our other clients.

I was immediately struck by how accurately you described the problem. I am currently attempting to rewrite the application (over 350,000 lines of code), moving it from VB6 to Visual Studio 2010 (VB of course). I tried previously with VS2002, and VS2005. But before I ever got finished, Microsoft would come out with a new version of Visual studio.

My problems are having to exercise regularly due to heart problems from so many years of sitting on my chair and coding, and addiction to NCIS, BigBang, and Elementary, and a wife that I love dearly who wants to see me occasionally.

Thanks so much mate !

I am struggling right now, having hard time between my job and my side projects and this blog from you came up as oxygen for me.

Incredible way out!

I am going to plan around what you have shared.

But after watching my health deteriorate from too much sitting, it is just not worth it any more to me. Living longer and healthier and spending time with the people I care about is far more important than the side projects.

This is a very good article. I can relate to the need and anxiety of developing good work habits. I am not sure of what your personal code writing is, but it is good to know I am not alone in the challenges and effects of bad work habits. Knowing that you have succeeded is a great incentive for believing in ones ability to develop and maintain productive habits too. Thanks for sharing your experience.
