Taking stock of where you are: what have you accomplished this module? What have you learned? Where are you stuck (have you not been able to follow through on outreach? Is your resume not finished?)?

Completing the resume has been difficult because I don't feel like I have much to put on there in terms of coding. It is finished in terms of past experience, but I need to complete and add more portfolio work. On a positive note, I have become very comfortable with React and taught myself a basic level of TypeScript, so that is great for my resume.

Create plans for 3 different companies you want to target:

Plan #1: Quizlet They have a Denver office and they are an Ed Tech company. Not only do I have an education background, I actually used their platform for several years at my last job. There is a Turing alum who works that I have spoken to. They use React and TypeScript, which I have experience with. Working here would be great because it would allow me to still be in the world of education and

Questions / Readings

Assess your habits from week 2: how did you spend your time this past week? What was effective in your habits? What could be more effective? What steps will you take to make that happen?

I continued my push to "get started" instead of overanalyzing to the point of paralysis. Getting started helps build momentum. At the same time, I also focused on learning to use a project board so that the thinking/planning phase of my process was more productive and useful.

Reflect on how you’ve spent your time so far at Turing to gauge your engagement and energy:

When have you been excited, focused, and enjoyed your work? When have you felt bored, restless, or unhappy? When do you feel energized in your work? When is your energy drained?

Times I enjoy:

• When I am solving problems and being creative. I feel excited and engaged when I can see myself making progress, both in terms of personal skill progress and actual tangible progress on a project. Learning how to do something I could not previously do is fun,
