Hello everyone and welcome to this webinar on how to make time when you don't have any time
I know a lot of us are busy with jobs and families and life in general and
These past couple of months I have been
Attempting to make more time throughout my day to be able to keep up with all of that as well as finish
the nanodegree on time
So there are just a couple of things that I changed the first thing was that I
realized that in order to
have more time in my day to work on the nanodegree I was gonna have to make more sacrifices
whereas the first couple of months I was hanging out with friends and
just chilling and relaxing every single night.
Then once I realized how far behind I actually was without really realizing it
I started hanging out them only once or twice a week and
things didn't really change that much, but I was getting a lot farther a lot faster and I could tell it I was progressing a lot quicker
So some things that I do
to make more time is I get re-inspired.
I Create time
I tune out all the other distractions and just dedicate those couple of hours to coding and nothing else.
I make use of the comments when I am writing codes on the projects or when I had to stop in the middle of them and
I figured out what works for me
so what works for me might not be the same thing as what works for you, and that's okay just play around with things and
eventually, you'll get into a routine of
Coding out a specific time or coding a different time every day and
Some days you're gonna be like, okay
I'm gonna do lessons at this point and project at this point or the other way around or today's just a lesson day today
Today is just a project day
Whatever it's different
Week by week. It's different day by day. It's different person by person
So it's all about figuring out what works for you and changing that.
So some ways to get inspired are kind of remember why you started. I started because
-part of it- was I loved playing around with the themes and designs on WordPress. I
love creating things and
I like helping other people create what they like, so
figuring out a balance between what is possible and
what would look good and
what a customer wants is exactly the type of thing I like doing and in my job right now
I'm doing that with
The articles that go on their blogs and I get to do a little bit of the design work as well
but it's fairly regimented
So I would really like to do something where I get more freedom and one of the ways to do that is through coding.
Another way that I get inspired is I look through job postings, and I kind of see what people are looking for and
what types of
Requirements they have for the jobs what types of things are in the "it would be amazing if you know this to section"
and I kind of look towards that it's not okay. This is where I need to be at and this is where I am now and
this is where I was months ago. I kind of looked back to see what I have accomplished in that point
and then I realized that I can do this in this amount of time and
just remember that change is good. You don't always have to be stagnant in your career and
With the way technology is going right now,
The ability to be able to code is useful no matter what you are doing.
Even if you don't know everything
It's so amazing just be able to look at a at a website and be like, "oh, this is why it's not working right" and
Even just knowing that you can go to someone who can make the change if you are not in that
position to be able to and
The last thing that I do when I'm trying to get more inspired is I bribe myself, I'm not ashamed of it
I will say if I get to
this amount of lessons. I can go out for a beer with friends tomorrow. If I get to this point in the project I
can have ice cream tonight.
Like it's just little things that
you can just have something to look forward to after meeting up with that spot specifically.
The next thing that I do is I create time in my schedule whereas before I was just like
"Oh, I'll get to it eventually." Now I've been making time: I wake up early.
I work at 8:30 in the morning. So I get up at 5:30 and
I give myself half an hour to make coffee and become slightly conscious and
Then I start working on things and I found that this actually helps me a lot because my brain isn't
overthinking things that early in the morning. It's what is the quickest way to do this thing? What is the easiest way to do this?
Rather than "oh, maybe I can do
this and this and this" where it's really just semicolon and when I code at night
I'll leave off in a spot and I'll make a note saying "hey
this is what's not working" and I'll just look at it in the morning with a fresh set of eyes and it's just
amazing. It's made my coding go by so much faster
Another thing I do is add questions to slack at the end of my morning session (if I have any) and
then during my lunch break I will go back onto
slack and I will look and see what other people say from an idea about how to do it
and then I will go
back after work and
just kind of work my way through those responses to figure out which one works the best for me and
which one makes the most sense and kind of learn the other ways too and then continue on in my project and then I'll
inevitably to another standpoint and I'll put it away for the night and then wake up early in the the next morning again and
One thing that I know everyone's like, "oh my gosh, wake up early. I can't do that."
What helped for me was
slowly moving my wake-up time back half an hour. I used to wake up half an hour before I had to go to work and
I was groggy until like 10 a.m. And
so obviously that wasn't good on any
standard, so I created a
morning routine. Basically I wake up I go get coffee. I set my timer I code for until
7:00 and then I get ready and go to work in yadda yadda yadda and
The one thing that kind of gets me up and gets me going in
the morning is knowing that I can have my coffee. If I sleep in I
Don't generally let myself have coffee because I've gotten so much more sleep because I get
so
into my sleep;
I go to sleep early as well so that I
can wake up early. So then if I sleep past my alarm I
Don't really need coffee at that point and I know I don't
The next thing I do is I help myself tune out distractions
By doing a couple different things on my phone. I use the forest app which sets a screenshot of it and
Basically if you leave that screen for a
minute or so or go on any of the other apps or whatnot
it will kill your tree and
you can create just a mini forest in there. So most mornings I use that
On the computer you can download cold turkey, which is something I did in college
but I have since stopped going on social media that much on my computer which makes it
kind of just a work area
So most my social media happens on my phone, so that's where I need the block now
Another thing is put your phone on silent put it across the room. Don't touch it and
I actually work most when everyone else is sleeping and
that is
amazing for me because none of my friends are bothering me and
I don't have to worry about oh what's everyone else doing right now? Because I know that they're sleeping like sane people
and the last time was something that I started to do at work because my mind wanders a lot and
I start making lists in my head and I keep me I keep saying. "Oh I have to do this. I have to do that" and
so I just take a piece of paper and I just write things down like
-Remember to get milk
-Remember to go to the library.
-Remember to get this book and
on a more
Coding based
Way you can be
"Oh, try this later" or
"Maybe this this would work." But if you're not at your laptop
You might not be able to do it right away
So instead of just forgetting about it or just constantly thinking about it
Putting it down on that paper kind of takes it away from your head so you don't have to worry about it anymore
One thing I do when I am coding
for the projects is I use comments a lot. I actually forgot to take one out during my last one.
Thankfully they didn't do anything about it. They were just like "what's this here for" and
basically, I
look at the projects before I
start working on the lessons for them and then when I am
going through the lessons. If I see a area in the project that would correspond with that. I kind of make a comment like
"lesson 10.2 might help with this" or
"check out these couple of lessons"
or here's the documentation for this specific thing and
then as
different areas and different
requirements start working. I will save it to GitHub.
I don't save every little change like we're supposed to because
That would be obnoxious and I go back and forth so many times. So once it is working it is saved and then
if something is not working and I stop in the middle of a session
because I have to go to work or I have to leave my computer or I have to go make dinner or something
I put the little comment like you can see on line 55 here
not working and then I know that's where I left off at and
I will also do things to fix like in this one my
Sprite character wouldn't die if he was in the farthest
leftmost
column and so I had a
thing there for a little bit because I wanted to get the rest of the game working
Then I was like, "I'm just gonna finish that fix at us and figure out what's wrong with it"
and I will also put questions that I have and
URLs of the current resources that I'm looking at-- like if I'm looking at a
Stack overload post. I'll put the URL in a comment there
and
The only thing is that you have two remember to take them out at the end because otherwise no one's gonna know what you're talking about
the comments to me are for yourself, AND for other people viewing your code, so
while you're creating it it's for you; once it's done
You need to make sure everyone else can understand what's going on when and you create the comments for them
And those are just the types of things that I do to create more time in my day to make my learning moment more efficient and
To just kind of keep myself on top of things.
Like I said, this might not work for everyone. These are just things that I have found
help me recently and
I'm always open to hearing what everyone else
thinks and how everyone else
kind of
processes and makes the most of their times. So thank you all for listening to me ramble.
