It's now been 4 days since I wrote a single line of code. That's not good. Practice and keeping what I've learned at the forefront of my mind is important and that much time without coding is an easy path for me to start forgetting what I worked so hard at acquiring.
Getting back on the horse
I don't know about you but, I tend to put others before myself very often. It may be because I am more agreeable than most...but even though sometimes it can be a virtue, sometimes it's also a vice to can make me resentful.
Why did it happen?
It's all nice and motivating to say that "it's how quickly we get back up" that counts...but it's also a good thing to take a moment to reflect on WHY we fell in the first place and then readjust our behaviors so that it doesn't happen again.
My guess is that I haven't systematically set a time everyday to go over material. I went full hog without a schedule and then when other things came up and no time was available...4 days went by without a single line of code.
Conclusion
Having a learning path and plan is good...but without a schedule and a routine to empower it might be a recipe for disaster.
