Day 044 of Self-Improvement 🚀

Solved some DSA problems and practiced JavaScript today.

And I realized something I had been missing for a long time…

To solve any algorithmic problem, you don’t start with code.
You start with thinking.

1️⃣ First, think about the solution clearly in your mind.
2️⃣ Break that thinking down into small, detailed steps.
3️⃣ Map each step to tools or methods available in the language.
4️⃣ Then and only then write the code.

Coding isn’t typing.
It’s structured thinking translated into logic.

That was today’s lesson.

Let’s get prepared for tomorrow’s grind. 🔥

Day 045 of self improvement
Back at it again
practicing algorithms and sharpening my algorithmic thinking.

Consistency is the real flex.
Getting ready to dive into the DOM and explore more advanced concepts in JavaScript next.

Day 046 of Self-Improvement

Been off for almost a week.
I keep quitting… then starting again.
But I’m back.
And this time, I’m not chasing motivation — I’m building discipline.
Today:
LeetCode only.

Day 047 of Self-Improvement

I realized something serious today.
My phone is slowly ruining my life.
When I analyzed it deeply, I noticed it takes almost 90% of my time, energy, focus, emotions even my spiritual life.
So I’ve decided something bold:
Next week, I’m buying a manual phone (call + text only) and putting this smartphone away.
Today I got back to OOP in JavaScript.
Not as productive as planned i.e mainly because of this toxic phone usage.

Good night 💪

Day 048 of Self-Improvement

Doing many tasks at once is really hard.
Still learning OOP + handling busy school schedules.
You really, really need focus.
A candle can’t burn on both sides.
Today I choose depth over distraction.

4,000 people got fired with one tweet by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter. and it wasn’t even because the company was losing money, it was because they believed AI made it efficient enough to operate with almost half the staff gone.

📆 January – Monthly Report
February Monthly Report

  What I achieved


1.Studied JavaScript basics (OOP, basic programming concepts and algorithms).
2.Strengthened my spiritual life (woke up early and going to church plus reading boks almost every day for whole month ).
3.Started improving my English and reading.
4.Vibe-coded some apps and joined tech communities.

What I Failed / Where I Fell Short


1.I planned to build solid projects using JavaScript and Python and explore more during this semester break but I didn’t execute as strongly as I intended.

2.I wasn’t fully consistent with my self-improvement journey and DSA practice , mostly because of excessive phone usage.
3.Not Posting Consistently

🎯 Goals for March


1.Stay consistent — especially in self-investment.
2.Continue daily habits:
Church
Reading
Improving speaking skills and so on..
3.Build basic projects using what I’ve already learned and Focus more deeply on JavaScript.

4.Posting Consistently

Adwa wasn’t won by chance.

It was discipline, unity, and belief when the odds were against us.

Today, I carry that same mindset in my journey
learning, failing, rebuilding, and moving forward anyway.

From Adwa to My Daily Grind:


We don’t quit. We rise. 🇪🇹

“It would have been better if we were conquered.”

Some people say this casually.
These images are the answer.
Colonization was not roads and buildings.
It was humiliation.
It was chains.
It was human beings treated as objects, animals, exhibits.


Look closely:

People forced to carry colonizers like tools
Families chained, stripped of dignity
Children caged for entertainment
This is what “being conquered” looked like.


Ethiopia chose a different path at Adwa.
Not because it was easy.
But because freedom is non-negotiable.

Adwa wasn’t just a battle.
It was a statement to the world:
We would rather struggle free than live comfortably enslaved.

Day 049 of self improvement

Started DOM manipulation in JavaScript and solved 2 LeetCode problems (Arrays section).
Probably my most productive day, thanks to a day off from class.
Momentum continues 💪🔥
#DailyUpdate

Day 050 of Self-Improvement

Today was similar to yesterday.
Studied DOM manipulation — methods, properties, and how things actually work behind the scenes.
One big realization:
When learning development (web or anything else), there are two main phases:
1️⃣ Learning the tools — understanding what they are and how to use them.
2️⃣ Building from scratch — using what you know to create real things.


Good night ❤️

Day 051 of self-improvement 💪

Today was somewhat an amazing day. I didn’t code that much, but I managed to get 2 clients from my side hustle, which feels great.

However, I also heard the news that tax might be applied to freelancers in Ethiopia. Even though I’m not a freelancer myself, it was a bit disappointing to hear.
But anyway… the grind continues. 🚀

Day 052 of Self-Improvement

Solved 1 LeetCode problem today: Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock.
Also learned about JavaScript events. ( They’re basically what give websites life like responding when something is clicked or triggered in the browser.)

👉 One thing i learned about Solving question in DSA is there is some thing called

"The Illusion of Mastery and Passive Learning "


Many learners fall into the trap of "passive learning," where they read a solution and feel they understand it because the logic is clear. This creates an "illusion of mastery" that evaporates when they face a blank code editor.

Real growth occurs during the "struggle"—the period of uncertainty where the brain is forced to retrieve information and build new neural pathways to link concepts.

Very Imp Point regarding DSA problem solving :

Solve easy level questions first. Solving those questions will give you confidence.

Please solve Hackerrank problems first. Then go to leetcode. This is my suggestion 🙄
