No, no, no, no! Not that kind of slack.
I mean, I’m seriously slacking off.
As it stands, I am using my life to play ‘ten ten’ and it’s not even funny.
Let’s head into the recap:
Last 7 Days
Over the course of the past week, I …
-
failed to finish reviewing the ‘new’ Homestudy curriculum - still about halfway through.
-
failed to write that blog post which I promised to last week - didn’t even get started.
-
failed to make it to week 4 of the CS50 course - still on week 2.
-
failed to finish up the YDKJS Scopes and closures book - still on the last chapter.
-
failed to solve even one algorithm challenge on codewars - I tried, 4kyu challenges are not funny at all.
-
I, however, did make it to day 12 of the Javascript 30 challenge course - yay!
-
I got started, and finished up a working prototype of that personal project I talked about last week - it’s now currently being used at work.
-
I completed my first test for the recruitment cycle I’m currently applied to.
-
I ‘think’ I’ve found a ‘regular’ sleep schedule - I broke it only 3 times :).
I have also, despite all the ‘failures’ and small wins outlined above, started restructuring the plan seeing that my proposed ‘4-month plan’ is hilariously out of sync with my current reality - bootcamp for my current cycle is less than 2 months away!
Next 7 Days
-
Finish up home study curriculum.
-
Write that blog post!
-
CS50, week 4!
-
Finish up YDKJS Scopes and Closures
-
Implement a mini project which would have me using the Fetch API - Random Quote Generator, maybe?
-
Come up with a concise 6-week study + practice plan to ‘level up’ to a state where I can at least implement, using TDD, an API built with Node + Express with Postgresql as the database, connect successfully with a frontend (no frameworks) and understand WTF is going on under the hood at each stage.
-
Make it to day 25 of Javascript 30.
Blockers
Apart from my unstable internet connection which has lectures buffering almost every 30 seconds, I am currently my own blocker.
Don’t F this week up, Kizito.
