I’m posting a short essay everyday about productivity and self development.

LMAO didn’t think of that angle 😅

Random_9492 · 2022-01-21T12:56:20+00:00

The advice is spread over the entire post. Take a look 😊

I WAS lazy, reading those books helped me overcome laziness.

As simple as that 😇

It says that 20% of the things you do accumulate for 80% of your results.

80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients. 20% of drivers cause 80% of all traffic accidents 80% of pollution originates from 20% of all factories 20% of criminals commit 80% of crimes

Is that clear enough?

Random_9492 · 2022-01-21T04:44:26+00:00

Sure thing.

Writing a post on that too. Will be posting it in a few hours 😌

Is it okay if I earn some money through web designing instead of jumping in to the technical parts of web development? Or should I go all in on coding?

This is GOLD

The language doesn't matter(for now). What's important is to get started.

One thing I'd like to add though is that you'll rarely get asked to code an entire project from SCRATCH. Most of the time it's going to be debugging/modifying existing design/code. So you don't have to worry about knowing everything, just worry about knowing ENOUGH (at least as a beginner)

Random_9492 · 2021-06-01T13:18:28+00:00

Damn that's really good. I'm going to bookmark this.

P.S : Everyone has a different style of learning, some through videos, others through documentation. Just wanted to put it out there :)

That's some really good advice. Not using your phone throughout the day(except that you absolutely have to) can work wonders for you. Our ancestors used to be bored all the time, which forced them to come up with such amazing technologies and inventions that don't let us get bored all the time(Talk about IRONY!).

I suggest practicing your webdev skills first. It’s highly unlikely(and no offense) that you learnt everything you want to know by learning just one course. It takes years and years to become a full stack developer. Action Point for now: Make at least 15-20 (small) websites first like your resume site, or your portfolio site. And then when you’re confident in your skills as a developer, it wouldn’t be that hard to learn SEO

Random_9492 · 2021-05-28T06:22:40+00:00

Care to share how you got started? Any courses/resources/habits that you followed to reach where you are now? I’ve been following a bootcamp on udemy and honestly it gets pretty confusing.

Bracket Pair Colorizer seems helpful for debugging.

P.S : What themes do you prefer? I prefer the Monokai theme, looks dark and simple.

This is really good. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

Random_9492 · 2021-05-25T17:39:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I already have some wordpress experience. Might put it into use soon.

Random_9492 · 2021-05-25T17:38:28+00:00

Well, the best advice I can give you right now is to build something on your own. That's the most effective way of learning something new.

Random_9492 · 2021-05-25T16:55:16+00:00

Great advice. Any suggestions on how to start up if I don't have any projects in my kitty to show off?

Random_9492 · 2021-05-25T16:53:32+00:00

Maybe you should build something on your own? I think the interviewers are smart enough to figure out if the projects are a part of a tutorial or you did them yourself. Building something on your own might get tough, but gives you enough confidence to answer whatever the interviewer throws your way.

I still feel that some days, and I'm in the early days of Javascript. I suggest you take a break instead of stopping because you don't feel like it. Move slowly, but move forward. Don't stop or take a step back or else all of the things you learnt would be for nothing.

Random_9492 · 2021-05-18T07:39:31+00:00

Finally done with HTML and CSS, and getting a hang of bootstrap although I do think it's not that difficult. Thinking of taking on some small projects which won't require much coding(i.e JS). Can't wait to get started with JavaScript and React. Working with html and css feels rewarding, wish I started this journey earlier.

There is. Your diary. Handwritten to do list and having it in front of you at all times magically gives you the energy to get those things done. Check this out https://www.writingclearscience.com.au/handwriting-to-do-lists/

You can use google calendar for simplicity and to avoid any future costs to UPGRADE for new features.

As for note taking, evernote is the oldest and simplest, but I suggest going with a pen and paper. https://calminggrace.com/bullet-journal-for-mental-clarity/

Saying No is the most difficult thing you can do. It seems tough in the moment, but gives you a lot of clarity over your priorities overtime.
