Instructions to Increase Productivity while Work from Home

Instructions to Increase Productivity while Work from Home

The cutting on the minimum time is not being disturbed by cheese colleagues, after being able to dodge the office celebration when the intervals are tight – the benefits of work from home are very much. However, the best, perhaps the fact is that it allows you to clear the routines of rude traffic and preparation. In fact, it actually offers you a real opportunity to be professional and…

maintaining git patches

git stash provides a stack, which you can access via

git stash

to push, and

git stash pop

to pop. However, git stash is more versatile than just that.

git stash list

will display the full stack, and you can pop off any given stashed diff with

git stash pop [stash]

or apply without removing via

git stash apply [stash]

which will similarly default to applying the top of the stack.

git stash also provides a neat flag, --keep-index, which lets you stash with pretty good granularity. If there are some things that you want to stash, and some you don't, use

git stash --patch

which lets you interactively decide what changes you want to stash, and which you want to keep.

So, now that you can add parts of your changeset to your stash, you have a useful toolset for comparing different patches, and adding them in any which order. In my case, I have some logging code that I want to be able to use locally, but I don't want to push to production, so when I want to log, I

git stash apply [stash]

to use it, and just keep it at the bottom element in my stack. Sometimes I have a few things I want to play around with for a single feature, but it doesn't seem important enough to merit its own branch, so I can just make two patches on the same patch, and play around with applying them first each on their own, and then together.

edit: I was spreading lies about --keep-index, so I removed that information.

Know Your Tools

Whether you're just starting out or have been making music for a while, whenever you buy a new piece of equipment take the time to learn it in and out.

It is really important to know what all of the knobs and buttons do because (in most cases) they're there for a reason. I know you're excited, trust me, I've been there, but make sure you read the manual and/or search YouTube for a tutorial (although most of the time you'd have to sift through a ton of shit before finding a fully informative video). By really learning what your equipment is capable of you will be able to take full advantage of all of its features. 

Don't jump into using your new toy and then learning it as you go along. In the long run you wind up losing time. You might get used to doing something a certain way but would have to unlearn it in order to master the correct way. During that process you've hindered your creativity and wasted a lot of time.

This applies to any instrument, hardware, DAWs, software, plug-ins, etc. For monitors or headphones, it is also very important to get to know what they sound like. Take as much time as possible to listen to lots of music through them so you have a comparison point. Knowing your headphones and monitors will help you accurately gauge your tracks. Remember there is no "right" piece of gear, it boils down to comfort, capabilities, and talent.
