I want to code more because:
I want to improve my problem-solving skills, learn and move from a Frontend developer role to a Full-stack role, want to create a personal portfolio, and contribute to open-source, feel more confident about my code.

I know I’ll have reached my “code more” goal when:
I have completed my portfolio, able to keep up my Github profile updated. Get a job in a Full-stack role, participate in hackathons and solve Leetcode challenges efficiently.

My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:

  • Feel motivated to dedicate at least 2 hours after work daily to either learn something new or contribute to open source.
  • Find enough time to work on project/learning while managing personal responsibilities
  • Try to overcome fear and keep working when things become hard

Of these assumptions, my riskiest is “discipline”

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

  • Not having enough energy after work to keep up with new learnings.
  • Losing focus while trying out new things.
  • Got stuck on a topic and not able to proceed further.

3 ways I might address these root causes are:

  • Keeping in mind the end goal that I want to achieve, don’t want to struggle with problem-solving skills.
  • To focus more take breaks in between learning.
  • Don’t procrastinate.

Of these, the biggest cause that’s worth tackling first is “Procrastination”.
