I want to eventually have sufficient knowledge to create something. I want to be able to take an assessment at a job interview and do well. I also want to have the confidence to do this.

Although I am from the belief that learning is a lifelong journey that never ends, I will feel more confident in my goal achievement once I have completed:

  1. Intermediate Java (FIU)
  2. CodgGym course
  3. Udemy course
  4. JetBrains Academy

I have three assumptions I've identified:

  1. Time
  2. Progress
  3. Motivation

The only reason time is a concern is because I'm turning 51 this year and just feel like I don't have time to waste. I'm assuming I will make progress and stay motivated although I have days when I feel I am not making progress and lose motivation. The reason for this: not being able to solve similar types of problems.

I hear you. I'm about to turn 39. When I have days where my code is just not working, I try to code something else that's more fun. That way I never lose motivation.
