It's summer and the caffeine is not working today. Wait I've haven't had any caffeine yet today. I only have it occasionally now. Might take a quick walk after I post. I need to clear my head and beat the heat and humidity.

  • Well, I'm building a simple project in C++, but I need to learn how to use Git and Github to upload the project's source code. Since I'm not a very social person I don't attend any events

I'm an introvert so going to in person events is draining. I attend mostly virtual events to learn and meet people online.
GitHub has so good docs to help. Plus there's git articles here.

Iโ€™m working on pushing a new feature for my AI project this week and hoping the heat doesnโ€™t slow me down too much. Any tips for shaking off those summer productivity slumps?

Try setting a timer for 25 minutes. Then work on the project till the time ends. Keep focused on working and you get in a coding mindset.

Really interesting to see such a detailed list of weekly goals! But I wonderโ€”does having so many tasks actually help with motivation, or can it be overwhelming and make it harder to focus? Maybe narrowing it down could lead to even more progress. What do you think?
