  • • Body: exercises, yoga, sport
     
    • Mind: learn something new, e.g. science, history, languages (human and programming); blog or build programs for interesting problems (and share them)
      
     
    • Feelings: music, art or poetry
     
    • Social: join study groups and clubs for personal growth (e.g. Toastmasters) or social contribution, volunteer or simply help people.
  • • Match. Find activities that match your strengths, interests and personality. Something that you would really enjoy and find as a good fit and complement to your life.
     
    • Start. It is the most important step. We have thousands of real and imaginative reasons why not to start. Our busy lives and habits often stop us. Avoid overcommitment and don’t burn yourself with activities, but don’t hesitate too much – just start it. Who doesn’t try – doesn’t drink champagne
      
     
    • Maintain. Your activities will make you happier if you do them for a long time, make a progress and achieve results. Your activities should make your life interesting, bring enjoyment and satisfaction to keep your new happiness level, otherwise it doesn’t make sense to continue them. However, you could have less enjoyable activities if they move your closer to life goals and make life more meaningful.
     
    • Change. You should periodically look for the new activities, evaluate and change existing and even drop less valuable. Your time is precious and you should select what brings you most satisfaction, happiness and meaning in life.

  hmm happiness programming

  • Happy programmers are more productive, healthier and live longer. It is pleasure to work with happy programmers. Are you a happy programmer? Do you have feeling of joy and satisfaction every day? Do you want to know how to become happier?
    
    This post considers programmer’s satisfaction with live as a whole (I had another post dedicated to happiness at work).
