1. Why do you want to code more?
I wish to start a career in tech. It has been my passion since my childhood, and I want to push myself into the productivity zone again.

2. How will you know when you’ve reached your goal?
I think the best way to measure my progress would be to see how consistent I am working on my coding skills. Say, for example - Leetcode submissions streak, Github usage, or the time i spend each week learning from tutorials. I plan to log what I learn into a doc.

3. What are your assumptions about being able to reach this goal?
I need the push to stay consistent with my progress and I think I would get that from the community. I'm assuming I have the time to manage consistency well. I'm also assuming that I will have the motivation to stay on track despite my serial procrastination history.

4. What’s your riskiest assumption?
There are occasions where I contemplate dropping something because I'm not able to stay consistent with it. I think that is something I shouldn't be doing but impulsively have, and going with these missions makes me assume that I won't drop out of this.

5. What’s the root of your riskiest assumption?
I think it is the fear of not being able to deliver as promised. I expect to deliver to my fullest when I set my mind to something, but when I face obstacles, I feel like dropping it because I overestimate the significance of my delay. Another constraint is time, as I'm involved in multiple bootcamps + college at once, which is already heavily demanding.

6. What are 3 ways to address the root of your riskiest assumption and make it less risky?
I'm thinking of getting someone, maybe a friend or mom, to hold me accountable. I think it should help me keep on track. I'm going to try to align my bootcamp work with these missions so that I can manage things efficiently. Hopefully my newfound productivity apps will help. Since all of my bootcamps are about coding i think i can find a way to put them all together and de clutter my schedule. I sleep early so I guess I can push that to accommodate everything as well.
