91 days days to December 31, 2024.

Time to get going. I do not want to end 2024 with only two certification. I am going for THREE, one for each month before 2025.

This is what happens when I take my eyes of my goals that I have set for myself. I procrastinated and got lazy. ARGH!!!

Daily tiny habits… Let’s GO!

*Notes – Chapter 2 took longer than expected, as the <h1> in the example was not rendering, to find out ReactDom and ReactDOM is not equivalent. I knew the case sensitive part, but just missed the two letters (om/OM) not being the same. I am using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and I did an autocompleted, and VS Code used ReactDom. 🙁 Took about forty-five minutes to see the difference after troubleshooting and reading articles why my ReactDom.render was not working.

I have stopped walking entirely….

I have stopped walking entirely. 🙁

I have other obligations (excuses!) that I have to do that I do not have time to walk at this time.

I have also stopped updating my weight, although my weight continues to go down.

As soon as I passed the Microsoft DP-900 exam, I started to study for the AI-900. I am also studying for the Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 exam. I have very little time and want to jump to the next level in my career, so I am trying to do all I can to get there!

Seems that everything that I am doing are intertwined. So my learning continues to grow. 🙂
