Commiting for the Next 3 Month

I've been trying to focus on working on side-projects lately, but I did not have any specific project in mind. I was bouncing between learning, first steps in projects, and resting. I want to get more focused, and because of that, I am writing what I want to focus on for the next 3 months. Mostly, I want to learn and make something that would solve one of my own issues.

Doing One Thing [71/365]

To make progress, one of the best solution is to focus on one single thing.

Enjoying Hardships [66/365]

At times in your life, you will feel like you’re faced with a lot of obstacles that prevent you to make forward progress. It could be your job, your family situation, lack of money, lack of network. There are thousands of reasons you can find. Instead of seeing those as obstacles, try to turn them on their head and make them a positive. You have little time to work on your side project after work ? Read more
