  1. I want to code more because: I want to regain my feelings of exicitement and accomplishement that I used to have when I coded. I don't want my poor experience in bootcamp to end my journey and permanently effect my confidence. I miss the way I used to 'zone out' and lose time when I was fully envolved in my learning. I want to feel like I have solid JS skills so that I can branch out and experiment with other topics that interest me (Python, Data Vizualization, GIS, Data and automation, security, etc).

  2. I'll know I've reached my code more goal when: I complete one ticket per week in my open source project, finish my 4 short courses in Advanced JS concepts/interview prep, complete an interview (no matter the outcome).

  3. My top 3 assumptions for reaching my goal: I have the time, financial resources, and physical/mental health necessary to code more each day.

  4. My riskiest assumption is physical/mental health related.

  5. The prolonged pandemic, and environmental stress has caused a lot of anxiety. I don't sleep well or do as many healthy things as I used to before the pandemic. Everything feels like another chore instead of self-care.

  6. Ways to address the root cause:

    • call it what it is: burnout. Maybe the appropriate label will help me find the correct resources to help
  7. find people who have recovered

  8. Find burnout resources
