Embracing the Chaos: Unveiling My Learning Journey

So, today I decided to tackle the digital mess that had become my bookmarks. It's funny how this simple task made me see things about myself – my learning style and, yeah, my tendency to collect stuff. Ever since I jumped into programming, every day's been a whirlwind of new discoveries and learning. And guess what? I've been saving helpful tools and resources like there's no tomorrow, all tucked away in my bookmarks. I'd promise myself that I'd dig into them "this weekend." But weekends slipped by, and my list of bookmarks just grew longer and longer.

Am I a master procrastinator? Do I have some digital hoarding obsession? Well, the honest truth is probably "yes" to both. But there's more to it. I realized I have this itch to learn everything about everything, from the ground up. And that's cool because it's a trait that can make me an expert in tons of stuff down the road. But right now, at the start of my journey, it's a bit of a mixed bag. It's exciting, but it can also throw a monkey wrench into the works and slow down my progress.

Today, I finally tackled the chaos. I got rid of the tools and resources that weren't super urgent and needed constant updates. As for the basics, I've set aside a bit of time every day to dive into them.

And you know what? It feels good. Like, really good. It's like I've swept out the cobwebs from my digital learning space. It's not about just tossing out bookmarks – it's about finding the right balance. I'm not giving up on my itch to learn everything, but I'm being smart about it. I'm realizing that the clutter was kinda holding me back, and by clearing it, I've given myself space to breathe and learn at a pace that's working for me.

So here's to the messy beginnings and the tidier paths ahead. I might not have it all figured out, but that's alright. Each bookmark I clear and each bit of learning I tackle is a step towards not just mastering programming, but also understanding how I learn best. And that's pretty darn exciting.
