I want to code more because: I am looking to make a big career change!

I know I’ll have reached my β€œcode more” goal when: I have comepleted the Front-end devloper course on codecademy and i'll have a portfolio of work to allow me to start looking for new jobs.

My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:
I'll have enough time to complete the course.
I'll have enough discipline to work hard towards my goal.
I'll have lots of resources to keep learning and keep me interested in coding even when it gets hard.

Of these assumptions, my riskiest is having enough discipline.

When I think about my riskiest assumption, three possible root causes are:
Procrastination and worrying about making a big career change.
I get stressed when thinking about the risks i'm taking and then use avoidance so I don't have to think about it.
Not having a routine will make keeping up with work hard.

3 ways I might address these root causes are:
Being more mindful and using therapy techniques to tackle anxiety.
manage my time by building a routine and following this everyday, but not beating myself up if something becomes to hard.
Try to code for atleast 2 hours a day

Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is building a routine so I can carve out time in my day to code!
