Day 2, #100DaysOfCode (2/100)

My second day of #100DaysOfCode: flexbox losing control and tools that I use to organize my life

I am still working on the basic part of my portfolio, like yersterday. At this stage, my main goal is to finish the basic structure, which does not need to be perfect since I can always improve it over time. However, I want to create something that I can be happy with. Today, I am primarily working with HTML and CSS. I have finished the main skeleton of my portfolio, which currently has only four main sections: about me, projects, curriculum, and contact.

I am considering adding another section, possibly to feature my blog. It would be amazing if I could consume my Medium posts on my blog, but I do not know if there is a public API available from Medium for users to do so. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m working on very basic things at the moment, and my biggest problem has been my flex-container going beyond the limits I set on the page because, at some point, I accidentally typed a semicolon that messed up my entire layout. So, in today’s post, I’m going to talk a little bit about the tools I’m using to organize everything about my #100DaysOfCode.

  1. Notion

Notion is probably my favorite tool ever. I love how I can use it for almost everything in my life, including work, studies, organization, habit tracking, and now my portfolio. I use it to keep track of references that could be useful for me, my to-do plans, and any ideas that come to mind. I don’t trust my memory, so I put everything in Notion.

  1. Clockify

I cannot function without Clockify. It’s the most amazing time tracking tool I have ever used, and I use it for everything in my life, just like Notion. I even use it to keep track of my reading time. FOR REAL! For my #100DaysOfCode challenge, I created a project with the same name and added everything I am working on. Today and yesterday were all about the structure of my portfolio, so I will know exactly how much time I spent on that.

  1. Notebook (paper)

Good old paper is impossible to live without. I mainly use it to organize my daily tasks, put down ideas, and check off completed tasks at the end of the day. It’s one of the most satisfying things to do. I also use Google Calendar, but mainly for organizing my week, everyday tasks, appointments, and other fixed or casual things.

That’s all for today! Bye-bye.
