Writing Down the 6 Most Important Tasks for the Next Day

Ah yes. Blogging at 2 am. 
I had an exhausting two weeks and barely slept. Today I finally crashed and slept all day. Awesome but now I am awake at night. You may have noticed my second blog - www.susannalearnsreact.blogspot.com

I wanted a place for all of my react notes as I am approaching it deeper now. I am also starting a new project to practice it - how on earth I will find the time for this I do not know - luckily I am quite efficient with my work. I can code very quickly. The challenge for me is not the coding and it never was. 

It is understanding the instructions, the task and the brief. Luckily my tickets right now are amazing. And being in frontend saves me every time. If I can see the problem 

I can fix it

The Top 6 Tasks for Next Day

This is a lifesaving thing. I need to do it at the end of every working day but I always forget 
What are my top 6 for Monday?
  1. Read the accessibility docs I have timeboxed in my calendar
  2. Meet with a lead to write an accessible document 
  3. Code up a second Radio Group Buttons group for my current ticket
  4. Meet with my manager 
  5. Meet with my mentor - I don't know what to do with him yet - tbf I could work with him on what I had planned out for the hour after that which was 
  6. Build out a react project plan
I have a list of topics and docs. And now chat gpt and I and my team Frontend Lead and a Senior from my amazing accessibility initiative that I am leading (yessssss Susanna! yess yesssss yessss) have come up with a project that I could do alongside reading docs 

My mentor on Monday loves working with AI too and we could work together to nicely write up each step of the process and then I can come to my Lead on Tuesday with a fully formed plan
God, it's hard being this amazing sometimes 
I can do the same for Tuesday, NICE

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...
