When you think there is no time for learning
summary
Starts with 100 days of code — one hour a day, code pushed to GitHub, and a visible contribution grid. Adds a 50-day daily css images streak to master HTML/CSS, then learns JavaScript via FreeCodeCamp, builds small games (tic‑tac‑toe, Simon Says) and D3 visualizations. Publishes coding videos and D3.js visualization that landed a remote job. Teaches habit tactics: tiny daily minimums, Pomodoro sprints, subtasking, and making progress public for accountability. Results: portfolio, job, and sustained skill gain.
