Just Connection issue no quit..
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.

October Monthly Report

๐Ÿ† October Wins

โœ… Got started with real DSA concepts
โœ… Studied Arrays, 2 Pointers, Sliding Window & L.Lists
โœ…Landed my first job (side hustle outside tech)
โœ… Solved My first 50 Problems on Leetcode


โŒOctober Failures

๐Ÿ’ฅPaused web dev completely โ€” even forgot some syntaxs
๐Ÿ’ฅDidnโ€™t solve as many DSA problems as expected
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“Apply for A2SV (not necessarily to get in, but to gain experience)
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
๐Ÿ“Start weekly reports to track progress and growth

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™

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.โ€ฆ
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

Day 53 ๐Ÿš€

Hey guys!
Today was full of work โ€” and I also attended an amazing event by Sui Ethiopia! I met great developers and people deeply involved in blockchain. The energy, the vibes, everything was just ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It felt so inspiring meeting devs Iโ€™ve only known from podcasts and the biggest lesson I took away today was

๐Ÿ‘‰ Build in public. Be global.
Share your journey, use platforms like X, and put yourself out there.

Also, my 14-Day Challenge is not paused! ๐Ÿ˜ค

Iโ€™ll be going live right after church and doing another long study session in the afternoon and tonight. Letโ€™s keep pushing! ๐Ÿ’ช
