I failed to keep up with the 100 days of code challenge that I started in the Thanksgiving break. Got a decent start and was motivated but once work started back up, I had no chance to complete the daily assignments.
Factors that led to the failure to keep up:
- Randomization at work. Still a small team and I do different types of work each day (people management, process upkeep, individual contributions to codebase and support tickets, strategic planning) that leads to significant mental fatigue by 7 pm. Opening up the coding course at that time and focussing is just tough.
- Working from home with 3 kids definitely puts a strain on the amount of disposable time I have while they are awake and active. Setting aside time at night became next to impossible.
How am I going to succeed in the next round:
- Set aside time in the morning before work and before the kids wake up.
Lets try this one simple hack and see how the second attempt goes.
