Mod 3 React Express Testing with Eco
Review your habit tracker: how did you monitor your habit(s)? What does this tell you about your overall progress becoming the person you want to be? In general, how satisfied are you with how you spent your time this module? What could be improved next module?
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?
Week 2 was full of plent of work and not much extra time. My self care lacked slightly, but felt really accomplished in regards to my project work and progress in this Mod. Again, I think my time and focus could be split up more efficiently and working on improving my mornings will be key this week.
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? My energy and focus specifically surrounding learning a new topic has never been in a better place. However, burn out and troughs of sorrows still do occur naturally. I find myself extremely energized when in a rhythym and have
Assess your habits from week 1: 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?
With a heavy workload in our paired project I found myself neglecting certain habits that I wanted to focus on. I found myself extremely focused and obsessive about ciriculum, but definitely narrowed my focus towards working on finishing our project. I hope to spread out my focus and energy to make sure I am looking out for my personal growth in all areas while maintaining healthy habits outside of Turing. I will ensure to make more time for myself and also work to improve my morning scheduling.

Reflect on your habits from last module. What behaviors and activities were helpful for you? What activities and behaviors could be more effective for you? What processes would you like to try differently this module to become more effective at your work and as a software developer? During last module I found to ride fairly high during the early portion of the Mod. I think it is easy to come in setting high expectations and riding the energy and adrenaline coming into a new experience. I found that this energy and focus wore off as the Mod moved forward. This is not necessarily a bad thing and could somewhat expected. I have always found myself setting high expectations and unrealistic goals and this was something I wanted to work on in module 1. I do feel I have made a lot of progress in setting realistic goals since starting Turing and want to continue to improve in that area. For this Module, I had alerady hoped to be a lot more habitual in my continued path through
why are we talking about empathy at a software development school? how can you develop the "skill" of empathy? and why should you care?
I find myself to be more empathic than the average person, but of course I could always be better. I think it is also important to understand that you exist within your own complex and are exposed to that first. Therefore, in certain situations or life scenarios, I might consider myself to be more empathic than somebody, but in their path of life, they might be exposed to numerous other situations that give them their own perspective. That is what it is all about in the end -- perspective. Empathic, listening, and perspective are the three values that I think are most important when we consider design and humanity in general. In order to produce useful products, it’s important to listen with intent. When I say intent, the intent is to be open-min
In the past, when working towards goals, I have found that one of the biggest make or break factors for myself is consistency. I find myself to have high expectations and therefore I set unrealistic goals which then causes me to become discouraged or frustrated when my expectations have not been met. Consequently, I have developed simple cornerstones that I can fall back on to make sure I am reaching my goals. First, I plan realistically. As I noted, I tend to have unrealistic expectations of myself and think I can reach much higher ceilings than I am actually capable of. Planning realistically allows me to think ahead an
