  1. I want to code more (restarting code, in fact) because I think it will help me in the process to overcome impostor syndrome.
  2. I know I’ll have reached my β€œcode more” goal when I complete these 5-weeks course in Coursera: Python for Data Science, AI & Development

  3. My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:

    • Balance my time between my daughter and my study routine.
    • Motivated to learn a new language and area.
    • I have a supportive husband
  4. Of these assumptions, my riskiest is to balance my time.

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

    • I really enjoy code, it works like a mindfulness session for me. I usually deep dive in some project and forget everything else, sleep included.
    • My 3yo daughter is full-time in home due to pandemic, so I'm not in control of my time.
    • Anxiety Disorder is worse because of isolation, and I'm facing more panic attacks.
  6. 3 ways I might address these root causes are:

    • I need to wake up early to study while my daughter is sleeping. I'm not a morning person, so I should include a meditation/exercise routine to help me to start the day.
    • I need to make peace with the fact that I no longer have control of my time and that If I couldn't code/study in the morning, that I will have the next morning to continue.
    • I need to keep a health routine, like cycling in the afternoons with my daughter and sleep early, to help me with anxiety.
  7. Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is health routine.
