This is so true, I Twitch streamed myself developing a game, for a total of 64 hours. And looking back, I found the parts where development slowed down is when I was confused--I almost want to yell at myself--hindsight really is 20/20.
What I took away is the faster I can recognize I'm in confusion, the faster I can get out of that state--it means I really need to focus on learning what I'm not understanding, and then come up with a plan to change the actual system into what I want it to do.
Another thing is, though I've really refined text editing skills, it's interesting to see yourself struggling to _simply edit text_. So while watching myself, I jotted down a few ideas of shortcuts that could help.
Final thing, that I don't know how to fix, is sometimes I'm not motivated, or not in the mood, or scatter brained. Honestly, looking at myself, I don't know what my deal is. If I can just force myself to turn on the stream, then my friends will pop in and encourage me, so that has really helped. Though I'll still hit work that I'm like ugh.
