Why I started today and why you should also..

Here am I writing my first blog in DEV after doing some research and decided to just give the world another idea or perspective which they might need or maybe not.
And I think it's quite self descriptive and explanative to write this blog in the beginning of my journey as a "successful software engineer".
See, I always struggled with managing my projects/ideas and guide them toward the right path, and keep "pushing", and just finish what I should to. Well that have several "reasons" which some of them are understandable and lot of them are not. But if we wanna connect this problem with our current blog, we should definitely start with organizing it!

Organization

No body has ever succeed in this life unless he is either super lucky or most probably decently organized.. and nope, this wasn't a quote.
Some said that we should organize our workplace, some others belive that planning and perfect schedule is secret key, others believe that journaling and tracking your progress is the best organization skill.
Well, for me I believe that you should get your mind organized and focused no matter what the tools or conditions and you should get to know as an individual to somehow discover it by yourself, I just recommend you to try different ways and techniques to achieve that level or organizing your mind and remain focus when you wanna do stuff, But also I would suggest you to have a good big important reason for that! For me it was the idea of this blog and to remain accountable but writing and sharing my thoughts to DEVELOP MY SOFT AND HARD SKILLS AS A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER.

Strong goals

Yes, in order to even achieve the previous goal you have to have a striving goal that you are ready to "fight" and "struggle" for, since planning and organizing is not a normal instinct behavior for us as humans unlike sleeping, walking, eating, and having fun activities, etc..
So in order to achieve something unfamiliar you have to become unfamiliar
to the normal casual standards, and in our current generation you can see if you think about it, that despite the speed of evolution and quick changes, the great ideas or projects came slowly from a strong oriented minds who had a big mission and goal that was so clear and strong for them.

Consistency

Enough from philosophy, and let's give the last point quickly and straightforward. If you don't stay consistent and try again and again without even caring about the results or output. If you dont keep "pushing" those commits day after day without even caring if some recruiter or friend checked them. If you just dont keep showing up, then that amazing goal with the strong organization will be just some dreams.
Another point about consistency is that you have to train your brain to make it as short and easy as possible to keep that feeling of achievement or dopamine..

And since this blog took me more than 30min I am gonna have to sop here and thank you for your attention.
