Got My SSD But Progress is Still Slow

Week 3: Got My SSD Delivered, But Progress Is Still Slow

Introduction

This week was a mix of small wins and the reality of slow progress. I finally got my SSD and installed it, but I still have a long way to go in building consistent habits.


What Happened This Week

✅ Got my SSD delivered and installed it myself
✅ Completed the Git section properly (didn’t skip anything even though I knew most of it)
📈 Course progress: 10% → 19%

Honest Reflection

I thought posting weekly would keep me accountable, but changing years of inconsistent habits is proving harder than I expected. There were days I barely opened the course.

Still, I’m proud that I didn’t quit — unlike previous attempts where I would have dropped off by now. That’s progress in itself.

What I’m Doing Differently Now

I’ve realized I need to restructure my routine. The goal for the coming weeks is simple:

  • Show up every day, even if it’s just for 30–45 minutes.
  • I’m also going to be tracking my progress more seriously now.
  • Going from 10–15% to 19% in a week is slow, but it’s not zero.

I believe once the old habits leave my life, I'll be more of a better human overall.


Have you ever struggled with consistency while learning to code? How did you push through? Guide me thinking of me as your Junior!
