[Thank you! Do you wanna share some with us? BTW TBH I find lots of the methodologies / templates too tempting to play with. (Instead of actually using them productively.) Which then defeats the point and consumes lots of time. Like the GTD system (Getting Things Done) by David Allen .](https://hashnode.com/posts/got-your-first-dev-job-cognitive-overload-and-how-to-avoid-doing-the-same-mistakes/637a252abde30221f1407de7/comment/637fa2fa81a977e4eb9b4ab0#reply-637fd8bba1f66ce6a83f5b68)

[Thank you Dumebi for the positive feedback. Welcome to imposter syndrome. We all have it to some extent. To calm you down. I believe the hardest part is actually to start interviewing for the jobs. My rule of thumb is to apply if I match 50 - 80 percent of the job description. Then it's just a numbers game. Maybe you'll have to apply a lot before you get your first job, but you'll get it eventually. And once you get it, it's actually pretty hard to get fired. If you're motivated, push yourself and show up every day chances are you'll do much better than the majority of your coworkers. ;) Youtube channel that helped me to overcome some of the struggles you might have now -> https://www.youtube.com/@AndySterkowitz . Also I have an article in making on How to get your first job ;) Will publish it next weekend.](https://hashnode.com/posts/got-your-first-dev-job-cognitive-overload-and-how-to-avoid-doing-the-same-mistakes/637a252abde30221f1407de7/comment/637a47dcb1e7ce9589455582#reply-637a5c3907e9759e6df2a1fe)
