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.

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

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 💪🔥

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 ❤️

Morning 🔥

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 🙄

An article about ML and Tutorial hell

I found it useful , Check it out if u can

#DailyUpdate

Day 053 of self - improvement

Practiced JavaScript events and DOM manipulation today.
Also did a bit of practice on form validation in JS.

Went to church, read a book, and only used my phone for about 2 hours : mostly for reading articles and basic survival stuff.
It’s honestly really challenging to stay away from the phone, but it felt like a good step.

Anyways… the grind continues as always. 💪

Good night❤️

Everyone you see here at AAU, if you get close to them and ask what they do, you’ll be surprised. They work on different things, things you may not even know exist. I know one guy who is working on modeling and make good contracts, another guy who is making insane money from brokering, another from trading, and another girl from consulting and marketing, running different clubs, firms, freelancing..., you count. Everyone is a hustler here, and that is really amazing. I thank God for joining this campus.

#AAU #Hustlers

Something I notice almost every day and even somewhat works for me👌🏽

You have no idea what most other people around you are working on. At the same time, many students don’t even try to explore ways to make money or at least survive university life better.

My honest advice: go out there and try different things. There are a lotttttt of opportunities that don’t even require much time or resources. If you ask, explore, and experiment, you can find side hustles that actually work.

Please don’t just sit and wait. Try something.

NB: In parallel with the Grind !

Day 054 of self-improvement

Tried something cool today with AI and also studied + practiced JavaScript events hands-on.
Next week will be focused on building mini JS projects. I’ll post the progress after each one. 💪
The grind continues : even when it feels like there are no results yet.

Good night fam ❤️
Sleep early, wake up early, and get ahead of the world.
