Great article! I’ve enjoyed it even more because I can relate to it. I have also tried this approach, to organize my tasks, goals etc.. but it didn’t work as espected.

As a very curious person, whenever I try to study a topic, I run into different other concepts that sometimes are not essential to fulfilling my goal, but they are still related concepts that I personally can’t skip without making sure that I grasp the idea of how they work.

And because of that, time passes even faster. And then I find out that I have completed only a few “todos” out of how many I was supposed to complete.

My solution to this is to set a few larger, long-term goals(like watching a comprehensive tutorial which could represent a starting point for a project) and to have some small todos that you can solve when you know the time won’t allow you to work on a project.(coding katas, articles, small tutorials).

Good luck! I hope you’ll fulfill your goals!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will definitely keep in mind what you said, and have some small todos related to my long-term goal, for those moments when time will not allow me to work on the project. Thanks again, and best of luck!

I must say your plans are really amazing. I always remember these things you said in your post. But for now, My niece asked me to help her with her essay work. But I am busy with my exam preparation. So I am thinking about suggesting her best essay writing help, I am searching for it on google. And I hope I will find the best one soon.
