From Economics to Engineering My Future — Day Two of the Journey

Day Two: Getting Set Up and Building the Foundation

Today marks the start of my public learning journey.

I’m an economics grad pivoting into the world of code, crypto, and problem-solving. I’ve decided to learn in public, build useful tools, and track my progress openly week by week.

✅ What I did today:

  • Set up my local dev environment on macOS
  • Installed Kivy to explore mobile-ready Python apps
  • Created a multi-screen habit tracker app using Python and Kivy
  • Pushed my first working version to GitHub (🎉)

Check out the repo here:

💭 Why This Matters (Mental Health & Habits)

This isn’t just about building an app. It’s about building myself.

The four habits I’m tracking — sleep, food, workouts, and running — are the pillars of mental well-being. Over the past months, I’ve learned firsthand how much better I feel when I sleep enough, eat clean, move my body, and spend time outside.

Coding is my creative outlet, but these habits are my fuel.

This app is my way of staying accountable to both.


📱 What’s Next:

  • Build out the Sleep tab with slider input, calendar view, and graph
  • Continue learning Kivy layouts and SQLite integration
  • Post weekly progress updates and share key lessons

If you’re learning Python, working on habits, or just curious about crypto/dev/AI — follow along or say hey. Let’s build together.
