How To Track Progress

Hi welcome! Excited 🤪 right? Wise people will disagree about whether life is short or not, Time is money or not. Truth be told both of these factors have a tremendous impact on our daily lives.

Just a few quotes to get us started;

1. “Be the person you needed when you were younger”
2. “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.”Arnold Schwarzenegger

You can fill in the missing pieces right?

The reason we end up wasting time is because we don’t track our progress. Hence what did you learn this week? This could vary , you can track daily or on sprint. This i have eluded to earlier here HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME

Things i have learnt this week?

As a software engineering student.

1. Progressing through React especially for Micro-front end technology
2. How to prepare an outstanding project proposal for a medium 12 week coding project in preparation for Intern
3. Collaboration on a dev team through JIRA, Github, Confluence etc while working on open source projects As a man(he/him)
4. Guarding against mental health disorders through rest, contentment, happiness etc
5. Taking value out of my time. Have learn to make every minute count.
6. Put all energy, soul, mind even in the smallest things. Its the secret of success.
7. Love unconditionally.
8. Learnt to pray.

Question Do you track your progress? Do you think about what you have learnt in a day?

I got a chance to take on a course from Harvard and my professor repeatedly said, Progress is not where you end up relative to your class mates, but rather where you end up relative to where you started.

Cheers! ✌️
