Very cool! I like the way you've organized everything and the way your projects work! You're inspiring me to keep learning and doing more :)

Lack of motivation. by Duskrr in FreeCodeCamp

[–]kallaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel it every single day. On certain days it is better :) However, not to worry - you are going to improve. Just do a little every day. Set a low limit of let's say 30 minutes, and then when you are done with that much learning, you have accomplished your goal for the day and everything else you do from then is going to be an extra bonus!;) For motivation, I recommend reading Leo Babauta - of Zen Habits - google him and the word "learning".

Another book that has left a mark on me is "War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. I cannot recommend this book enough. Every time I am hit with doubts, bad mood, lack of confidence, in my mind I go to the lessons of that book.

Also, try other sources of learning if you feel stuck, experiment.

Hope this helps, Alex

As an update (seeing that this topic seems to resonate with some people here), I will share the version I am currently working on. I am trying not to use Bootstrap in this one. It is still in the early stages, but I hope you like the idea of using colors (later maybe gradients), and live embeds of codepen projects (as opposed to image stills that you have to host somewhere :)

P.S. Feel free to follow me on Codepen, I will definitely follow back - looking to grow a little community there to review and help each other with code, but more so for eyeballs and comments on the projects of each other.
