3 years ago Nice! This schedule looks like an awesome plan! Good job putting it together! 👍
Haha, I remember someone famous (maybe Gates, Buffet, or Bezos?) once giving the advice: "On a piece of paper, in the order of your preference, write a list of everything you ever want to achieve."
And then once you're done:
"Cross out everything except for the top two. Until you finish them; don't do anything else on your list!" 😤
Or maybe it was, "the top three?" In any case, the point being-- it's easy to want to do everything. Personally, I'm in that same boat right now too! 😅 Really just sitting down though and consistently focusing every single day on only one or two very specific things is the key to victory to getting anywhere. You have a good plan! 👏
Motivation/Problem Statement 💭❓:
After my planning session yesterday, I decided to shift my focus from frontend web development to data analysis. Because I've been dabbling with and exploring so many different things, I've created a lot of WIP/unfinished projects. So I've had to make some difficult decisions to get my ducks in a row. Here's my priorities list:
Data Analysis will be my main focus for the next month (Google courses & Python). I will be alternating days on the Google and Python courses Mon thru Sat. And I've left Sun open for some WebDev stuff so that I don't completely lose everything I just learned.
Today's Goal/Solution 🥅:
Today's goals:
Result 🍓🍌🍉:
I completed the first goal, but I didn't finish the second one (I still have one more assignment to do before closing out the section.
Here's a screenshot of my very simple python script that calculates an employee's pay based on hours worked and their pay rate.
Observations & Next Steps 🔭👣:
The Python programming went well. I was able to do the activity fairly easily. I look forward to finishing the course and seeing what the second course in the specialization is about. At some point, I plan to work Exercism.io into the mix. Not now though.
As for the Data Analysis course, it's pretty straightforward so far. I look forward to getting to the part of the certification where I'm actually manipulating data. Patience (I have to keep reminding myself).

Extra/Fun (Optional) 🎈🎉🥳:
I met up with some family yesterday and had a really nice time. It was extra fun trying to find gas on the way back home with all the shortages. 🤪
