Hey again Edwin! Great question!!!! So I personally love using lists! It's a great way to map out your day, and you can do so by writing down your tasks foe the day on a piece of paper, or typing it into your notes on your phone. You can also use apps, like Todoist https://todoist.com/, Trello https://trello.com/, or Asana https://asana.com/! I usually map out my day the night before, after I stop "all code related things". When I was less strict about my routine, I would code from 8:00 AM until 12 AM most days (during bootcamp). I don't believe in "hustle culture", or the whole "no pain no gain" phrase (because let me tell you, I had a back injury from a work out which was all pain, and no gain hahaha.. moral of the story is, take breaks!). I know for a face we need to take breaks to put out quality, because we need to recover before going back into work mode. So don't do what I did by coding morning till night ever single day (unless occasionally when you absolutely need to work on something.. but include a SCHEDULED BREAK for your list on those days too!). So as an example, I normally start my day by checking Twitter, replying to emails, and networking for a few hours (this is 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM because I have a lot to reply to.. I'll also maybe read some code related articles or check up on family or friends. It really depends on my mood). Around 9:00 AM, I have my breakfast and then around 10:00 AM or 11:00 AM I either work out, or start coding. Depending on what I want to concentrate on, I'll code for a few hours. I'll take a break around 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM for one hour, go back to work for another few hours, try to study from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM and then call it for the night around 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM. That's my aim. So what that would look like is this: 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Network, social media, email replies 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Breakfast 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Code 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: BREAK 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Continue code 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Study lessons: 6:00 PM - Bed Time: ME TIME! Busy life, but I'm happy to do it! This is what makes me excited for everyday! Thanks again for your question!
Hey there! Thanks for joining me today! I'm happy to do this AMA! To be totally truthful, I'm not 100% sure. What I DO know is, what do I like to post out there? I personally like to share advice, I like to motivate others, I like to be honest with my mental health and in turn invite others to be vulnerable with me and their own mental health. I like to connect with people, through getting to know them or by sharing a funny meme/joke. I like to show my followers I appreciate them (however it can be challenging since there's a lot of folks now, but I still appreciate every single person!). I also like to share any "talents". If you're an artist, share your art! I like to post what I'm working on once in a while, and then others share their passions too! I hope this was of help, and if you have any more questions find me on Twitter and we can chat!
Hey Edwin! Thanks for joining in today! This is a great question! There is no perfect answer, because everyone is different! My first advice to you would be to allow yourself to take breaks. Within the motivation comes exhaustion. The last thing you want to do is overly exert yourself mentally, because in those moments is when it's most difficult to keep pushing forward. With my coding, what keeps me most motivated is having accountability (making a project with a group is helpful). I also like to learn and try new things to keep me excited! Currently I'm working on improving my CSS art as well as being more mindful of accessibility. This excites me because I love art, I love learning how coding is creating art. For accessibility, I love including everyone to my code, so it's very important that the work I put out is accessibility friendly. It's a work in progress so I'm making my mission to make all my projects accessible! Hopefully within the next few months all my projects will be 100% accessible! I hope this was of help to you! If you have more questions please reach out on Twitter! Thanks!
Hey Rahul! Good to meet you! Congrats on writing your first e-book! I don't know too much in sales, but I did share how to grow your presence on Twitter. I answered this above, so I will copy this for you here (since my advice would be the exact same): With my Twitter following, there are a few tips and tricks I could share: Don't be shy to get personal! Let people know who you are. Show genuine interest and ask people questions on Twitter! If you get to know someone on a personal level and show them that you want to get to know them, just like you would with a friend, then you will build a relationship with them! I obviously don't have that opportunity with every follower now, but at first it was a bit easier to maintain. I made really great friends through Twitter and would highly recommend it. ATTEND MEETUPS! If you go to a Meetup, chances are, there are a lot of folks who are eager to meet other folks and connect. Here, you can share your LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, and talk about the experience you had at a Meetup. Finding something that connects you to someone makes a lasting impression, and the best part is, it's genuine. I love to hear how folks feel after a Meetup! I just attended a Webinar and connected with over 100 people, but I had to jump straight into our AMA so I didn't have a chance to connect with everyone on a personal level (YET). Make TIME. Make time to think about what you are going to Tweet, and to scroll through your feed to engage with others. If you don't enjoy Twitter, this will seem like a chore. I really enjoy my time on Twitter and love using Twitter to learn new tricks for code, and of course make more friends! I hope this helps! Take care!
