I don’t want to come off as mean and spoil the article but the author writes he can’t get anything done and the strategies that might help him with finishing things is..

“1) writing a spec (i.e. a plan) upfront, and 2) timeboxing the project by giving myself a deadline.”

Isn’t this just agile? I’m pretty sure every developer already does this, it’s kind of the whole strategy for completing any project.

Not sure what the point of this article was. He could have wrote “make a sprint and stick to it”
