Explored the world of content creation
Here’s my new plan: I’m going to launch Digital Grind Weekly Reports—not just text, but well-organized, amazing summaries to track my progress and share insights with you all. I’ll announce it here on the channel when it’s ready.
#Update

1 month ago, I shared my idea of Digital Grind Weekly Reports… and guess what? After way too much procrastination, I finally started bringing this idea to life in Notion!
DIGITAL GRIND WEEKLY REPORT
Week 1 (Nov 17 – 23)


Once I get the hang of it, I’ll also add video summaries to make my journey's reports even more engaging.
As I dive deeper into web development and other projects, I’ll keep improving the reports and make them even more useful

Check it out and tell me what you think! Any suggestions or improvements are welcome :)

#Tip

Guys, have you seen the new AI tools? They make life much easier, whether you create content or something else like for every task

1. Gemini can help with tasks, read your screen, and improve photos so they look real. Nano Banana is also great for quick, natural photo fixes.

2. GPT group chat lets you add different AI helpers in one chat. One can fix code, another explain it, another do research. It’s like having a small team.
Start using these tools and your work will be much easier.

Just My thought ..
Learning to code isn’t about talent.
It’s about showing up every day, even when the concepts feel confusing or new.
Everyone starts from zero, and the only difference is consistency.
Let’s keep learning one step at a time.

End of November got me like 😭😭
Exams, assignments, and deadlines everywhere…
Can’t even remember what free time feels like.
Just buried in work and trying to survive.

#Lesson_of_the_day

Have you ever thought about receiving a message that says: “Dear customer, you have used 75% of your life”? Time flies without us noticing. One moment we’re saying “Happy Monday,” and before we know it, “Blessed Sunday” has already arrived. At this speed, we are racing toward our deathbed.

But what have we done so far? If today were our last day alive, wouldn’t regret flood us the things we never tried, the dreams we postponed, the words we never said? We have only one life, yet we live as if we have nine like cats. 🤦‍♀ We keep saying “I’ll do it tomorrow,” forgetting tomorrow was never promised. We should be moving with urgency, getting things done, achieving before we lie down on our deathbed. Unlike the packages we buy, Ethio Telecom won’t send us a text reminding us how much of our life we’ve used. We must remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed whenever we feel the urge to procrastinate.

🎯 November Goals & Focus Plan

📍Apply for A2SV (not necessarily to get in, but to gain experience)
📍Balance school, side hustle, DSA, and web dev properly
📍Do my side hustle work seriously — just as I planned
📍Stay consistent for at least 27 out of 31 days in DSA
📍Start weekly reports to track progress and growth
📅 November Monthly Report — How It Went


What I Achieved (3/5)


I applied for A2SV (got rejected obviously 😁 but the experience was the goal).
I tried to balance school, work, DSA & web dev — mid exams took an entire week but I handled class + work pretty well.
I started weekly reports and I’m happy with that consistency.

What I Failed / Will Improve in December

1. Paused DSA — only studied for 7 days, so consistency was zero 😭
2. Didn’t start web dev
3. Still losing focus — even tried “study with me” live sessions but not enough

🎯 December Goals


1. Start Web Development seriously
2. Post daily progress + weekly reports
3. Publish at least 1 web dev project
4. Learn DSA & solve as many problems as possible
5. Focus on my work + improve financial management (my weak area 😭)

I hope one day I'll sleep before midnight like normal humans do.
Everyday I sleep tomorrow,even yesterday I slept today 😁

A day in the life of a tech student:

Me: wants to code instead of going to lecture soooo bad

Also me: hears that the teacher said "there may be a quiz"

Me: begrudgingly goes to class

Me: returns to dorm frustrated because THERE WAS NO QUIZ

Uhhhhhh.

You know guys, I started this channel on July 31 Day 01.
Fast forward 4 months… and out of these 120 days, I’ve only been consistent for 60 days. Since my last Day 60 post, I’ve realized something: I’m actually terrible at consistency 😭
I wanted 95%… but ended up doing 50% but no regrets — just lessons.
So from today, I’m restarting from Day 01 again, and this time I’m taking it seriously. No skipping unless it’s literally impossible.

Day 001
Honestly, this is like my 100th time starting HTML from scratch 😭 but this time I’m being humble, going back to basics, and building the foundation properly. Even though I already know some HTML & CSS, I’m revising everything and starting web dev seriously — with real mini-projects and yeah, I’ll still continue with DSA, but my main focus now is web dev — building, learning, and improving daily.

After finishing my mid-exams up to now:
I revised all the basic HTML tags, including the boilerplate.
Simple stuff, but the grind is back.

Let’s see where I’ll be on Day 30, Day 60, and Day 100…

Day 002 – Revisiting CSS Basics

Continuing my web dev journey, and today was all about revising CSS.
To be honest, I’m not rushing to jump from one language or framework to the next. I’ve done that before, and it always ends up confusing later.
Right now, my focus is simple:
👉 Strengthen my foundation in HTML and CSS.
So today, I went back to the basics of CSS — selectors, properties, text styling, spacing, and understanding how everything connects with the HTML structure. It’s mostly refreshing what I learned earlier, but with a more serious approach this time.

Day 003 – CSS Practice Day

Today was all about practicing what I’ve been revising. I worked on a few simple exercises, including a small landing page using just HTML & CSS.

Still trying, still learning, still moving forward 💪
Nothing fancy — just building the muscle through consistent practice.

Day 004 – More Practice, More Progress

Still on my web dev grind.
Today I continued practicing CSS by improving my landing page design and trying out different layouts. It’s small progress, but it’s progress that actually counts.
I’m slowly getting more comfortable with the basics — spacing, colors, fonts, and structure.
No rushing, just steady improvement every day.
Staying consistent is the real win here 💪

Day 005 – The Not-So-Aesthetic Side of Learning

Today wasn’t about writing perfect code — it was more about the messy part of learning.
Renaming files, fixing tiny mistakes, organizing folders, checking if images load, dealing with warnings… all those “small” things that actually teach you how real web dev works.

Day 006
Today was one of those “do it even if you don’t feel like it” days.
Consistency is becoming a habit now.

Day 007
Every day I’m laying bricks.
Some are messy, some are clean,
but the wall is rising.


Give me a few months…
you’ll see the full structure.

Day 008 – Not quitting, even when everything feels off

Today was one of those days.

I’m sick, my body feels weak, and on top of that I got absolutely humbled by a school exam 😅
Funny thing is… I didn’t even feel angry or sad. Just empty. Like, okay… next.

There was also DevFest at ALX hosted by GDGs today. I really wanted to attend, meet people like me, connect in person, and feel that tech energy — but I couldn’t make it.

But here’s the part that matters most:
Even while sick, I still did exactly what I planned for today.
I conquered my day.

Today wasn’t perfect, but I didn’t quit.
And that’s a win in my book.

Tomorrow, we go again. 💪
