  1. 0:37, to GitHub, doesn't matter your license: it'll always be free. 2:28, interesting, in a sense of freeing things from memory. The problem is that, when you finish a small task, it'll eventually need to be broke, to attach a glue to it, in order to serve to a bigger "ecosystem", throughout the project development. So 1 will keep going back to that task, to improve it. Another strategy is to get the project in working state, even if in kind of a bad design. This gives information of how things should interact. Some things are only known in practice. And if things are decently isolated, like it's possible to do in C++ (private setters, for instance), details can easily be improved without fearing the rest of the project influence. Nowadays, mankind is experienced enough to know certain strategies, to advance fast through a project, like automated tests, keep same patterns for everybody, decent encapsulation (as I mentioned, private setters), and so on. 3:00, autism is a severe condition, making the person almost incommunicable. You hadn't it, you were just introspective. 3:36, this is the proof: these are extrovert features. Just train those for a little while, giving them their deserved value, and anyone can acquire them. Autism would never be solved this way. 7:08, there's a mindset switching issue. It's unpleasant to do that, and thus may be hard when the time for the most unpleasant task arrives. So, if it take longer than should for 1 person, I agree. On the other hand, if it's not the case, it's better to start by the easy things, for motivation. When coding, I prefer this last method. For life chores, I think the other is more recommendable. 10:05, I prefer blocks made of 2h of tactical work, 1h of strategic work. But I guess you are not being entirely honest about timed work. There are small distractions, and if you stop the timer for those, being brutally honest, it'll yield almost double of that! By my experience, 2h -> 3:30, 4h -> 7:15-20. 11:00, maybe the headaches are caused by trying to suppress those distractions completely. I don't do that. Instead, I just stop the timer, think/do whatever triviality I want at that point (even if just a brief thought), and then back to work. Before reactivating the timer, I get a little focus 1st. I never had a headache in life!
