Getting My S**t Together
Hey there DEV following, it's been a while...which I said in my last article I wrote in October 2019. A lot has...

Hi Ryan! I can totally relate to getting sucked down the rabbit hole and letting it prevent me from actually coding! To make things easier on myself, I have limited myself to a few resources to focus on at a time that cater to a project-based learning style. Participating in the #100daysofcode challenge is also helping to keep me accountable.
Oh, and reading 'Atomic Habits' last year definitely changed my goal-setting process. Great read!
All the best to you this year!
Hey Maeling!
1 - Thanks for reading!
Limiting myself to fewer resources is defiantly a good idea. As for #100DaysOfCode it's something I started last year and failed on - but I'm happy to have another crack at it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed Atomic Habits! For me, I was (and still partially am) a terribly lazy person for most of my life and it's something I find myself fighting more than I'd like. Atomic Habits is a book that I'm sure I'll be reading a 3rd and 4th time in the future :)
All the best to you as well! I hope you'll drop in again
This is me 100%...
One example is I started learning Vue was curious about the vue-cli so learnt a bit about that then I wanted to know when was going on under the hood so I went off a tangent for a few days learning all about webpack... I can wholeheartedly relate.
Agree about Xdaysofcode challenges never really attempted them as I know I would likely struggle to stick to them it's something I am considering maybe one day.
Ohhh I totally understand going off on a tangent, it's the worst! I'm not at place where I can afford to do that but I can't help my curiosity sometimes.
I've started and stopped Xdaysofcode twice now. I know that you're not actually expected to do it EVERY day, however, I view it as a failure if I have more than 2 days in a row without coding. It's something I WANT to succeed in doing.
I wish you the best of luck staying focused! I feel like I'm forever trying to learn JS and React because I keep getting distracted or going off on a tangent.
Welcome back, and good luck!
Thank you!!
