This is seriously such a great post. Thank you. I literally just wrote a post about how I have 25 years of coding and feel like I'm just starting. It's great that you posted out a plan. I'm going to be ready over this many more times and taking notes! Thank you.

Great article! I’ve enjoyed it even more because I can relate to it. I have also tried this approach, to organize my tasks, goals etc.. but it didn’t work as espected.

As a very curious person, whenever I try to study a topic, I run into different other concepts that sometimes are not essential to fulfilling my goal, but they are still related concepts that I personally can’t skip without making sure that I grasp the idea of how they work.

And because of that, time passes even faster. And then I find out that I have completed only a few “todos” out of how many I was supposed to complete.

My solution to this is to set a few larger, long-term goals(like watching a comprehensive tutorial which could represent a starting point for a project) and to have some small todos that you can solve when you know the time won’t allow you to work on a project.(coding katas, articles, small tutorials).

Good luck! I hope you’ll fulfill your goals!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will definitely keep in mind what you said, and have some small todos related to my long-term goal, for those moments when time will not allow me to work on the project. Thanks again, and best of luck!

Hey Carlo, glad I am not the only one feeling that way, I have two amazing project ideas that could really help me progress with my career, but finding the time and motivation to do it all is a problem. Between my full time job, exercising, writing blog posts, and completing online courses and side projects, it all seems impossible.
But let me attempt to follow a plan. Thank you for the awesome post.

Big thanks, Carlo, for these wonderful piece. When i started leaning Javascript ES6 functionalities through the same Udacity Nanodegree Program, a strong yearning for a deeper understanding in JS grew in me (coming from a guy who saw nothing else other than PHP). Now i just want to keep exploring more grounds in javascript and this year i will be starting with Typescript

I have deep interest in Web Development. In the past times, I have studied and build various projects with Tech stacks like MERN, PHP, Ajax, jQuery, Bootstrap, Material-UI. I have recently also started to learn about SEO since it is necessary for us to know about it if we are building an application or website.

Hi, Earning money becomes really tough these days, and lots of people play casinos now a day. But they are confused about which site they choose there are lots of sites present on google in which you can play casino games. But lots of them are frauds. But don't worry visit online gambling security where you get to know everything about gambling security.
