Ask HN: What Should I Do With One Hour Of Free Time Per Day?

  • Borrowing from Richard Hamming via Paul Graham--

    * What are the most important problems in your field?

    * Are you working on one of them?

    * Why not?

  • An hour a day all summer is enough time to develop an app. However I am not sure this qualifies as "productive" or "money-making!"

    In seriousness, it depends a lot on where you are in your life, and what your goals are. I would give very different advice to a student on summer break than I would to someone in the working world and with a family.

  • You mentioned that your summer will be very busy, so how about using that one hour a day to just relax?! :)

  • If you're busy all summer, relax for that one hour a day. :) Take a walk, go for a cycle, have fun!

  • Learn something new. Spend one hour a day messing with code. Or watching up to 2 or 3 video tutorials. Or reading one hour of a programming book a day.

  • You most definitely have enough time to develop an app
