I want to code more because:
I want to get a job as a developer.

I know I’ll have reached my “code more” goal when:

I have a job! I can make money coding.

My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:
Need a lot of passion and motivation.
Need to network with other devs.
Need to study and build consistently.

Of these assumptions, my riskiest is: study and build consistently

When I think about my riskiest assumption, three possible root causes are:
I get distracted by new resources -- I’m afraid that I’m not using the best resource
I am afraid of failure -- it’s hard and I feel like I forgot everything from boot camp
I can’t decide on a project -- undecisive

3 ways I might address these root causes are:
Stop looking for more resources and explore the ones I have.
Write about my fears and experiences on CodeNewbie. Find people who can relate. Don’t worry about what you know or don’t know, just keep going.
Write down my project ideas and work on them one-by-one. Don’t start another one until the first is done. Think of it as an assignment.

Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is: getting distracted with new resources and being overwhelmed with the amount of information available.
