Thank you. I found this article particularly helpful. I’m a single mom with two kids and enrolled in a coding bootcamp. Sometimes I get so frustrated I want to quit. I’m going to follow your advice. I think life would be much simpler if I had a better work-school-life balance. I’m going to create a simple rails todo app for students;).

Hey Candice, thanks so much for reading my post👋🏽.

Much respect to you for getting into a bootcamp whilst being a motther to two kids! Getting that balance is really not easy but taking the steps to try it can certainly help. Good luck with the bootcamp😊

Hey man great article!

Definitely inspires me to tackle my last semester with all that I have but reading this post is a fresh air especially since I have worked throughout my college career up until last semester but everything you mentioned is so true and makes sense. Although there are few things I wish I had done better in the past but now know what I need to do from your post! Thank you again my friend!

Hey Arber, thanks for reading my post😊

For me it's about discipline. I know that, if I don't stick to my study plans, I will fall behind and struggle with everything. This fact alone usually helps me stay on track.

For the times where I feel demotivated or burnt out, I try and take a small break from everything and come back to things later.

Hope this helps!

Very helpful article!
Sometimes I think that life could be so much easier if I start to planning my daily activities, your words here showed me that I have to do this right away!

Thanks for reading Diego. Planning things out certainly helps, the stress of not knowing what's going on is totally eliminated. 👌🏽
