I want to code more because: I want to succeed in my Informatics classes. I also want a job.

I know I’ll have reached my “code more” goal when: I have completed one personal project, in addition to my coding projects for class.

My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:

  • That I’ll stay motivated
  • That I’ll make enough time to get things done
  • That I won’t be bad at it

Of these assumptions, my riskiest is: that I’ll stay motivated

When I think about my riskiest assumption, three possible root causes are:

  • Anxiety/Depression
  • Immediately giving up when I am "not good" at something
  • Trying to do too many things at once

3 ways I might address these root causes are:

  • Therapy and Medication - already started both!
  • Find a “study buddy”/community to keep me on task
  • Find a way to prioritize and focus

Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is: See if there’s anything in my schedule I can move around or drop.
