Hi guys! Lets do our best

What has worked:

  • I think I read some people mention they've used the Pomodoro technique also but what I did was in my notes app put in a tomato emoji for every 25 minutes. Even on my laziest days after work I would at least try and get one 🍅
  • Knowing what I want to work on. Sometimes I just open VS code and don't know what to do lol. So having something I've badly designed on Figma, an idea for a project or at least something I want to learn from one of the courses I've bought gives me some guidance. I feel like it also gets me excited because I knew what I wanted to accomplish

What hasn't worked

  • Not having a plan. I've mentioned up above but sometimes when I've sat down to make something I just sit there confused lol
  • Above leads me to just not building anything. I feel like if I get stuck on something I can definitely have a clue what I'd need to learn next, but than it just goes to a project graveyard.

My Long term goal:

It's pretty simple but I'd like to be writing code fulltime. I just want more time to write code to learn more as opposed to my call center job right now lol

I'd also like to make something useful for people to use within my hobbies of gaming. The idea isn't really there yet, but when it pops up in my head I'd like to have some idea of how to plan it.

My short term goal:

right now my short term goal is to definitely FINISH a project. I can't build a portfolio if I've got nothing on there
