Lost Time

24 Mar 2016

I have lost some time again.

If I could return back of my old days, I think I should go back to my college age which I had lost time and should study hard especially English and programming skills.

From last Saterday, I lost for some odd situation that I don’t want to finish my math homework and anything else. So I read some fiction books and watch the movie. These entertainments are very interesting, however I don’t quite want those.

Asking myself, what’s the most important for me? I think that fisrt and foremost I really want to be a good father and husband, and I’m longing for some freedom including financial freedome and freedom from fear.

This morning I read an article about “design thinking”, I follow the steps of the article.

  1. emphasize
  2. define the problem
  3. ideate
  4. build a prototype or create plan
  5. test the idea and seek feedback from others

First, I think my real issues is to be growing up quickly.

Then, the problem I want to solve is how to be a qualified programmer. If I would be a better engineer, I could find some ideal job that means I have more opportunity to be freelancer and emmigrant, even to be financial freelance.

There are some idea from brainstorm of myself:

  • graduate from doctoral candidate
  • read technique book, such as code complete
  • learn some stuff from codeschool
  • try to find some remote job

Now, I created some plan.

  • Finish my first year of doctoral and get all credits I need. Particularly, invest more time to my Concrete Mathematic course, and solid my fundation for future programming work.
  • Read some book, like code complete and the leadership pipeline, don’t read fiction books.
  • Finish my machine learning course from julyedu.
  • Continue to improve my English.
  • Go through the Code School, at least finish one path.

Finally, I need some feedback. Let’s retrospect some days ago.
