  1. I want to code more because:
    My ultimate goal is to get a developer job, a career change. To achieve this I need to practice a lot more using the knowledge I have gotten over the last year from all the tutorials

  2. I know I'll have reached my "code more" goal when:
    Of course, getting a job would be nice. But I feel that actually finishing my portfolio with some actual nice projects to display and not just tutorial projects. Also, complete a JS project from start to finish on my own.

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

    • Starting a JS project properly
    • Code daily working on projects
    • Being motivated to keep going and push through my barriers
  4. Of these assumptions, my riskiest is:
    Being motivated to keep going and push through my barriers

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

    • Mental Health barriers - anxiety
    • Don't know the material and freeze when I do try to start a JS project
    • Don't believe I got what it takes to be a developer
  6. 3 ways I might address these root causes are:

    • Rip the band-aid off and just start a JS project from scratch
    • Get Study Buddy, watch more motivating videos
    • Actually do what I schedule for the day and stop goofing off
  7. Of these, the biggest cause that's worth tackling first is:
    To do what I actually schedule for the day and stop goofing off.
