Measure what you are learning by time, not for getting it all the first time.

Pomodoro.

You probably have heard that word before and also know what is about. Well is a productivity technique use do get results and progress during a task. When I began learning to code I used feel very bad sometimes because I was not understanding what I was learning or because I was really far away from finishing the book or the tutorial. That can hold you back and me you feel you are not moving forward.

So I started using the Pomodoro technique but with a little mindset tweak. I would start studying for 25 minutes and each time I finish one Pomodoro I would feel I achieve something. Maybe I did not get everything of what I was learning the first time or maybe I did not finish the lesson but I finished the 25 minutes. I would do it again and again. At the end of the day I had lots of repetitions and when you repeat your brain start to make the connections you need to stick knowledge.

Is powerful. Use it wisely.
