how to stop skipping meals for meeting deadline

not sure what flair exactly to put but yeah just want to see opinions, advices, or stories ye

just recently had a coding project where i got stuck with page lifecycle shenanigans where no error was showing up and this became a big problem as the entire page could not run after changing one line of code but zero errors showed up in the debugger.

my dumb butt realized that this is going to be what i have to submit by 12am (6 hours later) and still waiting for food to arrive.

so i locked in. a bit too much. my food delivery guy rang the door but i was so focused i forgot about it until 11pm where i was finally wrapping up and still having issues with my code

lately i have been accidentally doing this bad habit of forgetting to eat due to locking in and its just for this one specific coding project.

how do yall suddenly remember to eat or offload this sort of stress?????
