My bandwidth to focus on personal development has been lacking lately, to say the least. I see lots of people write on this topic on a regular basis, and I know that I too have the power to make big changes in my life.

Trouble is though, at the end of the day I don’t feel like doing anything. Let alone learning something challenging like JavaScript.

I’ve been giving myself a lot of shit for not following through on my plans. I feel like I’m failing if any free time is spent on something other than being productive. Sometimes the stress I’ve placed on myself outweighs external stress received from work or other areas of life.

Granted the goals I’ve set are high, however, they are completely doable if I would consistently spend time working on them. Whether they be habits, rituals, or whatever productivity gurus would call it, I need to establish and maintain momentum.

Stop, take a breath, and start again…

I’m going to hit the reset button. Just focus on doing a bit of a coding tutorial here, working on a project there, and writing an article no less than once a week. Easy, right?

Dedicating even thirty minutes a day will translate into progress. Just need to get back into actually doing something again to feel a little accomplishment, and let it compound.

So, to all my fellow side hustlers and after work learners, let’s raise a glass to keep on keep’n on!
