4 days ago I strongly believe that this career path resonates with my personal goals in life. However, I am not in a very stable situation in my life at the moment and I am trying to put all my energy and effort into learning coding whilst dealing with some personal and financial hardships. After consulting with my doctor and monitoring my attention span and daily energy-levels, I have realised I can allocate a minimum of 2 hours per day to dedicate to ITP tasks. Since I have researched and realised that I need to study at least 25 hours per week, I've decided to slowly increase the time for studying.
Coursework content
Now that you have your spreadsheet, you reviewed it, and you are confident it is a good picture of your availability and commitments on a typical week, we can reflect on it.
An important goal of this exercise is to observe your life from an external perspective.
Read it a few times aloud and ensure you haven’t missed anything. Ask yourself if this is what you had planned or a realistic description of what happens. Make any changes and iterations to it.
Now look at the number of hours you dedicate to each activity per week.
Ensure you include your energy and concentration levels when studying or CYF training.
Read the updated sample and iterate again on it, ensuring it has the expected level of detail.
Share your reflection with your pair. Ask them to ask you questions about the accuracy of it. Get them to help you to refine it.

What is the purpose of this assignment?
Observing your week and reflecting on your real availability will be key to ensure you have a clear plan to achieve your ultimate goal, which is a job as a developer.
Be transparent in all what you are writing and thinking about, to ensure you have a reliable plan. Remember: the plan doesn't end when the CYF course ends.
