The daily time budget
( progress pics: schedule and outcomes. )
I started learning SQL back in mid-February. However, some of the broader concepts just did not stick with me in the beginning, so a lot of what I was doing was just copy/pasta without the time to allow it all to resonate within my mind. The new course in the screenshot above does some fine-tuning to muscle memory for me. It's a bit like "riding a bicycle" or learning to play that competitive game you learned a long time ago. Your skills slowly get better and your hand/eye coordination also improve.
For a daily time budget, well, typically people sleep 7-9 hours a day. So in a healthy day, the average person has 15-17 hours to spend living life. Me and my wife, we live together in her home. I have my own dedicated study space, I'm looking for work, but many of the job posts I am looking at want somebody who knows SQL and HTML, and have other certifications.
As far as my CompTIA A+ studies are concerned, I scored an 85% yesterday on my Core 1 studies. I began studying for this test on March 9th. I moved my test date up to March 25th. This means I took 16 days to study for a test that I only really needed 12 to study for. And for Core 2 of the exam, I think I'll give myself two weeks to study for it.
The "Pomodoro" learning technique has been very effective so far and has served me well.
