6 Months Rule❗ If you dedicate at least 2 hours every day to learning a new skill or perfecting your craft starting tomorrow, by the end of 6 months, you will truly excel at it. Remember to set realistic and achievable goals to accomplish by the end of the 6 months.

Nighttime session learning JavaScript. Currently learning about higher order functions and callbacks. Worked with the map, filter and reduce methods Some days learning JavaScript can be 🤯 but today was 🤩. I’m getting more comfortable with it

every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving). that’s neuroplasticity in real time.

When you're first learning to code, you likely build simple projects like todo apps. And this is great for getting started - but eventually you'll want to build more complex things to showcase your skills. In this tutorial, @sprucekhalifa helps you go from "Hello World" to building real world applications. freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-go…

Pretty much go to bed and wake up thinking about this clip Lives in my head

How To Choose a Tech Career Choosing a tech career is not about chasing whatever is trending. It is about finding the intersection of your strengths, your interests, and market demand. Tech is wide. It is more than coding, hacking, or building apps. There is space for analytical minds, creative minds, business minds, and problem-solvers of every type. The first step is understanding yourself. Ask what naturally excites you. Do you enjoy solving puzzles and logical problems? Do you love creating visuals and designing experiences? Do you prefer writing, analysing data, organizing systems, helping people, or building ideas from scratch? Your tech path should grow from who you are, not from pressure or comparison. When your work aligns with your personality, you will have the energy to stay consistent when it gets difficult. Next, understand that tech careers fall into different personalities. If you enjoy logic, structure, and building systems, you may thrive in software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud computing, blockchain, or AI development. If you love patterns, numbers, and insights, data analysis, data science, or machine learning may be your path. If you are creative and enjoy aesthetics and user experience, UI/UX design, product design, graphics and motion design, or creative technology may suit you. And if you like connecting people, explaining ideas, organizing teams, or translating business needs into solutions, you may belong in product management, technical writing, business analysis, or project delivery. The key is this: you don’t have to code to be in tech. Coding is powerful, but tech also needs designers, writers, analysts, testers, strategists, researchers, product thinkers, and support specialists. The industry runs on collaboration, not just keyboards and algorithms. Once you have a sense of direction, get curious. Research job roles. Read real-world job descriptions. Watch introductory videos. Talk to professionals if you can. Do a short beginner course to test the waters before fully committing. Tech requires continuous learning, and the earlier you embrace curiosity, the faster you will grow. Another important factor is market demand. Look for roles that have strong hiring needs globally and locally. This doesn’t mean chasing hype. It means understanding where the world is going: automation, data, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, digital experience, financial technology, health tech, and remote tools. Choose a path that gives you options, growth, and flexibility. Be honest about your learning style and environment. Some tech careers require deep concentration and long hours of problem-solving. Others require collaboration, communication, and people skills. Some roles are mentally intense but flexible. Others are structured and predictable. There is no “better” path. Only the path that matches your wiring. And remember, tech is not instant wealth. It is a skill economy. You grow through consistency, projects, mentorship, community, and continuous practice. Start small. Build real things. Join communities. Create a portfolio. Let your work introduce you long before your CV speaks. Most importantly, don’t fear starting late. Don’t fear switching paths. Don’t fear being a beginner. Everyone you admire in tech once opened their first tutorial confused and uncertain. What matters is not how early you start, but how committed you are to becoming valuable. So take your time. Learn. Explore. Reflect. Then choose the tech path that gives you meaning, growth, and a future you’re proud of. Because the goal is not just to work in tech. The goal is to build a life you don’t need to escape from.

The easiest way to get ahead is to commit to a period of skill development. 6-12 months. Pure focus for 2-4 hours a day. Learning and building. Not just binge watching tutorials, but creating quality projects that you, others, or businesses could actually benefit from. But don't just let those projects sit around. Tell the world about them. See if people care enough to pay you. Fix what doesn't work until they do. That's it. That's what most people need to completely turn their life around.

Grab a notebook. Write out exactly what you want in your future, don't miss a detail. Then, break it down into goals. Decades, years, months, weeks, and days. Every day, write down the 3 levers you can pull to make actual progress. Then, forget about the goals and execute.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is filled with small, unglamorous daily wins.
