What are you doing to hold yourself accountable? Writing about it each day is great, but don't forget that it's another task, more work, and therefore another point of failure.

I'm a Full-Stack Developer and recent Bootcamp Graduate. I'm most experienced with JavaScript, but I'm a python enthusiast and an all-around nerd. When I'm not coding I love anime, sci-fi, d&d.
