Lots of DMs about managing time as a coder 👇

This is what I learned in my 10 years of career

This is a thread 🧵

-Being a developer, juggling priorities is very common.

-This is true whether you’re working professionally or are looking for your first job.

-If you’re self-taught, like me, you’ve been doing this for long, managing your own schedule & your 9-5.
You have to balance your time along with the new skills

-You need to learn and the current skills you need to solidify. And it’s really hard to get the balance right.

-Find your relationship with time👇

-Everyone has 24Hrs
Treat your time with love & care.

-Define your priorities upfront. It's an allocation that we want & our desires to fulfill.

-Set a roadmap & act.

-Time is money (Most IMP Lesson)
-Before even jumping to any task, think twice

-Whether something is urgent or not and important or not, you either drop, delegate, schedule, or do things right away.

It worked for me.
-Time measurement is key.

-Distribution of time that maximized performance, and attention.

Here is the current schedule during the lockdown.

8:30-9:00AM > Wake up & Water
9:00-9:20AM > Short walk in society park
9:30-10:00AM > reading
10:00-10:30AM > get ready + breakfast
10:30AM-2:00PM > Work + one meeting
2:00-2:30PM > Lunch
2:30-3:00PM > Phone
3:00-4:00PM > Work
4:00-7:00PM > Meetings More + Work (Logged Off Sharp 7:00)
7:00-8:00PM > Home workout
8:10-9:00PM > park with kid
9:00-10:00PM > phone & music & chill
10:00-10:30PM > Dinner
11:00PM- 1:00AM > Self work & Side hustle.
1:00-1:15AM > wind up & sleep.

Scheduling is by far the most effective strategy for me. I started a self-scheduling two years or so ago.
-Every day, I wake up to a pre-written schedule of what I have to do that day. I don’t have to worry about timing myself.

-I just have to sit down in a chair and code for each block of time.
-Your goals are probably different, so you can tweak this strategy in a few different ways.

-For instance. You could merge time blocks if you’re working on a more intensive project, or if you’re making insane progress on one task 👍
-When You say, I don't have time that means

-You don't have proper priorities set in your journey.

-You need to re-visit your strength be it
Physical, mental, emotional, etc.

These are time management strategies that have worked for me. I'd also love to hear about the time management strategies that have worked for you on your coding journey.
