# Project LeLe: A Year of Programming and Growth
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Project LeLe
As I dive into the world of programming, a unique story has served as my motivation. Although I haven't fully embarked on my programming journey yet, I'm committed to making 2024 my most productive year in this field. My approach will be gradual, allowing me to steadily ramp up my workload as I gain momentum.
Project LeLe will be my focal point from now until year-end. The name derives from the Lent-Easter (LE) Coding Camp, and my goal is to develop an iOS application named Mile-y Stone. This app aims to help users track their milestones and manage multiple projects simultaneously. Initially, the project was designed to span 18 days, but I chose to extend it beyond 30, then 60, and 90 days; it's now approaching 280 days. My determination to see this project through is stronger than ever, and I refuse to let it languish like previous endeavors.
There's a lot on my plate, and I know that accomplishing my objectives requires time. I believe it's far better to take a thoughtful approach rather than rush and risk incomplete results.
Here’s how I allocate my daily hours:
- 24 hours in a day
- 8 hours for sleep
- 2 hours for commuting
- 2 hours for the gym
- 2 hours for gaming
- 1 hour for routine tasks
This leaves me with 9 hours to utilize. Out of these, I’ve set aside 1 hour for reading and learning, 2 hours for writing on Medium, 2.5 hours for reading on Medium, and 1.5 hours to concentrate on a specific daily theme—ranging from social media and video editing to website design and SEO. This ultimately grants me just 2 hours to devote to Project LeLe.
To manage my time effectively, I’ve created a work schedule for the remainder of 2024, targeting December 20th, 2024, for the completion of version 2.0 of the Mile-y Stone app. I plan to document my daily progress on Medium, which has proven beneficial in the past.
Experience has taught me that setting overly ambitious goals can be counterproductive. While it ensures I remain busy, it often leads to unmet objectives. In the future, I will be more realistic about my scheduling, ensuring I can actually achieve what I set out to do.
There's a saying that suggests multiplying your initial timeframe by three to arrive at a more realistic estimate. Although Grant Cardone advocates for setting high goals, it’s essential to factor in the time required to achieve them. Success is significant, but so is allowing adequate time to fulfill our ambitions. For instance, if I aim to write 100 articles instead of just 10, I must recognize the substantial additional hours that will entail. While AI tools can help streamline the process, they can't eliminate the need for time, nor do I currently have the budget to hire assistance.
Self-help literature can sometimes be overly optimistic. While these books can be inspiring, it’s crucial to approach them with a discerning mindset, embracing only what resonates and discarding the rest.
Many aspire to attain billionaire status, but the reality of reaching that goal is often far more complex. Each of us has unique potential that may unfold in different ways. Success is challenging and never guaranteed, as everyone’s journey is distinct. It’s imperative that we take decisive action to reach our desired destinations.
Despite the hurdles, we persist in our pursuit of a better life, leveraging our past experiences, mindset, and continual desire for growth to enhance our chances of success.
Do we want to be remembered merely as wealth seekers, or as individuals who made a meaningful difference in the lives of others?
Prioritizing family and maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential, particularly when raising children.
I aim to deepen my relationship with God, strive to be a better individual, and trust that progress will come as I take the right steps along the way.
I invite you to approach life with an open heart and join the Boo and Bears Twitch community, where we work together to make life more vibrant and fulfilling.
Looking forward to connecting soon!
With love and best wishes,
Boo
