(Step-1 of the Developer Career Roadmap)
The spirit of the developer career roadmap is really to teach you how to set your life up in such a way that you can use software development as a tool for creating value.
Budget your time.
You have to provide yourself with the right amount of time for your learning sessions, for your exploration sessions, for you to build a new career.
Determine when and where you are going to invest in your career.
Designate a place for you to go to work.
Give this thing the space in your life that it needs to be important. So that space is really the time budget as well as the location.
Ensure that your primary bills can be paid off.
You have to provide yourself a sustainable approach.
You also shouldn't be sacrificing your health.
Learning is an investment, so it will cost time. You can't increase the amount of time that you have, you can only choose what you do with that time.
I want you to start from the perspective of a given week. In a normal given week, what does your time go to? Write down a description of your current situation. Don't be idealistic.
Take that same time budget that you are already spending and I want you to Refine it. I want you to determine which of those things are you willing to cut out or which parts of your free time can you use to your advantage to invest in your future career in software development.
So you're gonna have two time budgets. One that you're currently spending, this is more evaluation than thinking new ways of doing things. The second is going to be the one where provided the time necessary to invest in your career. This is the one that you're going to use going forward.
I want you to stick to that time budget for a two to three month period. I don't want you to refine the time budget each and every day.
The reason for that is it is going to instil habits in you and your brain is going to get used to this investment in your development career.
Once that 2-3 month period is up then you can re-evaluate that time budget. Another reason I want you have a 2-3 month window is this requires commitment. This industry requires commitment.
Re-evaluate and recreate that time budget.
Everyone should have this conception of Time. This understanding that Time is necessary and that continuous investment in your career is important.
Go and take some time and create your time budget.
