Day 49 โœ‹
I honestly wish I hadnโ€™t posted this, but failures need to be shown too, not just solved problems. The past few days I disappeared a bit because of family , friends , sleep , and even classes on Saturday .
Remember my last post? I said Iโ€™d finish all my tasks over the weekendโ€ฆ most are done โœ…, except DSA .
And guess what? When Iโ€™m trying to focus cuz was n't focusing even by side hustles for survival ๐Ÿ˜ญ, A2SV opened G7 Cohort application, and here I am still battling distractions .
From now until November 10, I have no option other than DSA day and night .

Even that museum post I shared on Saturday ? That wasnโ€™t my plan โ€” my friends pushed me to go.
Lesson learned: you must set clear boundaries with your circle. Grinding in silence is hard, and nobody around me even knows Iโ€™m on this journey, not family, friends, like literally NO ONE except me and God not even about this channel .

Right now, it feels like Iโ€™m pushing a mountain .
This journey is heavy ๐Ÿ’”, and today Iโ€™m hurting.

DAY 50 (STUDY WITH ME!) ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This week was honestly full of distractions โ€”  overthinking, confusion, not studying, and even losing a bit of hope.
But right now, Iโ€™ve decided to take control

Iโ€™m starting a 4 - HOUR DEEP STUDY SESSION โณ โ€” no notifications, no distractions. Phone aside ๐Ÿ“ต, just pure focus

TOPIC: ๐ŸŽฏLinked List in Python (DSA)
๐Ÿ•˜ STARTS AT 9:00 PM (3:00 LT)

๐Ÿšจ Iโ€™LL BE GOING LIVE & NO MATTER EVEN IF NO ONE JOINS!!!
MY INTENTION IS NOT THAT โ€” ITโ€™S ONLY TO STAY 100% COMMITTED, FOCUSED, AND DISCIPLINED ๐Ÿ’ช

Since Today was hectic, moving here and there all day .
Iโ€™m tired, So Right now Iโ€™m wrapping up at 6:00 LT after 3๏ธโƒฃ hours of deep focus
. Honestly, this beats 7โ€“8 hours of distracted study . Weโ€™ll meet again another day, Thanks to everyone who joined and studied with me ๐Ÿ™.

On my study front: Iโ€™m now familiar with linked lists ๐Ÿ”— but need practice. My goal is to tackle at least problem 707 (Design Linked List) as a solid exercise. This weekend, I plan to solve 3โ€“4 linked list problems to reinforce my understanding .

๐Ÿ—“ September Monthly Report ๐ŸŒ™โœจ Now, looking back at September (Month 2 since I officially joined tech)โ€ฆ it was a messy and confusing month ๐Ÿ˜…. I even doubted myself at times. Still, there were some small wins along with the failures. Achievements ๐ŸŽ‰ โœ… Startedโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ—“September Monthly Report


Itโ€™s been about 4 months since I started my tech journey (Web Dev + DSA).

Month 1
I officially began on July 1, but honestly, July was full of confusion and messy schedules. Things got serious on July 31, when I started documenting every step and taking more responsibility for my learning and life.

Month 2 and 3
In August, I began revising Python basics for DSA and learning HTML, CSS, Git, and GitHub for web development. But when things got harder, I paused web dev for about 2 months (September and October) to focus on DSA.

Month 4
In October, I was active and consistent for 21 days, though my goal was 25+. I even wasted the first two days of November โ€” but still, progress was made.

๐Ÿ’ฅStruggled to manage time (School, Side Hustle, DSA & Web Dev)
๐Ÿ’ฅDidnโ€™t start my weekly reports as planned
๐Ÿ’ฅ Lost some motivation and got distracted by other interests

๐ŸŽฏ November Goals & Focus Plan

๐Ÿ“Balance school, side hustle, DSA, and web dev properly
๐Ÿ“Do my side hustle work seriously โ€” just as I planned
๐Ÿ“Stay consistent for at least 27 out of 31 days in DSA

Day 51๐Ÿš€
I thought Linked Lists were complex... until I understood this!

For a long time, I used to think linked lists were this super confusing topic โ€” with all the init, val, next stuff that made no sense.

But then I realized something simple:
๐Ÿ‘‰ You can think of a linked list like a normal list, just built differently.

A Python list is like a row of houses side by side โ€” each one knows exactly where the next is, so you can jump directly to any house by index.

But a linked list is more like a treasure map โ€” each box (node) only knows where the next one is. You canโ€™t skip ahead; you must follow the chain one step at a time.

In short:

Python list โ†’ ๐Ÿช‘ Buying a ready-made chair (everything already connected and arranged)

Linked list โ†’ ๐Ÿ”ฉ Building your own chair piece by piece (you connect every part manually)

Day 52 ๐Ÿš€ Letโ€™s call it a day ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Woke up at 6 AM and havenโ€™t even returned to the dorm yet โ€” did my TD assignment, went to work (yeah, the one I mentioned before), and came back straight to the library. No dinner, just pure grind.

I even managed to solve one Linked List question for DSA, but still havenโ€™t started Web Dev (and itโ€™s already Day 5 of November ๐Ÿซ ).

Now Iโ€™m honestly asking myself โ€” should I quit one thing to balance life with family and friends?
Or should I keep grinding, invest in myself, and protect my peace?
14 DAYS CHALLENGE ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hey guys,
I was about to start another โ€œStudy With Meโ€ session โ€” but this time, itโ€™s something deeper.

For the next 14 days straight, Iโ€™ll study live for 4โ€“6 focused hours daily i.e no notifications, no random scrolling, no distractions.
JUST ME , MY PC AND PURE GRIND

So this challenge isnโ€™t about hosting a session or showing off
itโ€™s about fighting my own habits, building focus, and trusting God through the process.


If you want, join me or at least share this  post to support ๐Ÿ™

My  Study Plan

1๏ธโƒฃ Revisit & Recall
Iโ€™ll go back and solve all the LeetCode questions Iโ€™ve already done โ€” focusing on understanding, speed, and writing cleaner solutions.

2๏ธโƒฃ Topic-Focused Practice
Iโ€™ll work on topics Iโ€™ve learned before but havenโ€™t practiced enough โ€” like Sliding Window, Linked List, Two Pointers, and Sorting.

โœจ Bonus:
If time allows, Iโ€™ll try to grasp some new topics โ€” not necessarily as part of my main sessions, but just to keep expanding.

No new fancy goals โ€” just pure focus, discipline, and growth ๐Ÿš€
Letโ€™s see how much improvement I can make in these 14 days ๐Ÿ”ฅ
