I've been programming for a few years now, and I've written a lot of code, but there are times that I want to write quality code 2 or 3 times faster. I do my best to keep my workflow straightforward, eliminate distractions, and stay focused on my tasks, and I get quite a bit done each day but the more I can do, the better, right?

I'm wondering if any more seasoned developers have good advice for me, as far as improving my workflow, and coding more efficiently? I use Vim, and am trying to improve my muscle memory for operating on code. Any vim user tips? At what intervals should I take breaks from coding? Should I stay away from developing on the weekends to let my mind rest? Should I keep working on weekends to keep my brain active? At times I have to switch projects and work on something completely different, sometimes even in a different language, and that seems to throw my mind of for a few minutes. Is there anything I can do to make the process of switching projects easier? Is it normal to be thrown off by an abrupt project-switch? Sometimes I have to do 2 or 3 projects concurrently, and I end up having 2 or 3 bash windows open with different projects in each one. Should I try to just work on one thing at a time?

Thanks for any advice, I'm just trying to improve my developing habits and consolidate my workflow into something that's as efficient as possible. Any advice from seasoned developers would be awesome!

Why is Github down? http://github.com/

Open python session in terminal, type "import antigravity". I found this amusing....
