I wrote about the way I train my patience<\/a> and use it in turn to practice discipline<\/a> in my personal and professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once discipline sets in, all that is needed is that the good practices are repeated (almost) indefinitely. I say almost because it’s normal that certain work\/ study patterns or habits evolve in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, with discipline I can build consistency in what I do. Consistency allows me to evolve with small but certain increments. I move with little risk and with high certainty towards my goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The whole point of building this consistency is to give myself a sure path to reach my goal by building up to it in small but steady increments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Current goal: I want to fill in all the gaps which I have in my full stack developer profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the years I learned many of the skills I needed to be a professional and functional full stack developer. I kept up with the updates on everything I was using day to day, however, there were always things that I postponed for “later when I have time”. I kept count of them and the list is big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a sample of what I’m missing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bright side is that the list of the things I have already learned is probably just as big. Here is a sample of things I have good control of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve a mastery of the topics I wish to follow, I simply need to keep working on learning and practicing them every day. Typically, in software development, there’s learning on the job almost daily but it’s simply not enough anymore. Because my goal is to learn broader topics, extra effort needs to be done outside of the working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat’s the end goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
