I had wanted to study at least 8 hours today. Been mentally preparing for it all week. This is how it turned out:
DURATION | WHAT I DID |
8:30 - 9:00 am | Breakfast |
9:00 - 9:30 am | a bit of relaxation, catching up on stuff |
9:30 - 10 am | Practicing GitHub commits (30 mins) |
10:30-13:45 | Study HTML/CSS (3.5 hrs) |
14:00-14:30 | Lunch |
14:30-16:30 | Attempting challenges and practice exercises (2 hrs) |
16:00-18:30 | Personal matters |
18:30-19:00 | Dinner |
19:00 - 21:00 | Attempting challenges and practice exercises (2 hrs) |
TOTAL STUDY TIME | 8 HRS |
Yeah!
But I still feel I didn't accomplish much. Felt I was really slow and could've grasped things faster & better.
I did build 3 single-page HTML websites with basic CSS styling. It involved watching course videos, referring to W3Schools, asking questions to fellow students, and just trial & error.
I am confident with:
Git commits
Starting HTML files
Basic sections, articles, ordered lists, unordered lists, upload images, connecting pages
Not very confident with:
Div
Classes
Formatting classes in a separate CSS file
Block formatting
Another reason I am not satisfied with the day is that I was unable to complete all the Week 1 background reading, practice exercises, and challenges :( Next is Week 2 and study is piling up! Tuesday is my next class and tomorrow (Monday) evening is all I have for the pre-class reading.
I must stay focused, do my best, utilize time well, and take 1 day at a time.
Good night.
