I decided to "end" the project early. I plan to continue studying but not as intensely. I'm going to back down to 2-4 hours a day. This is for 2 reasons: 1. I don't think I needed as much of a refresher as I anticipated. 2. I started taking interviews with other companies and prep for them is less intense. Either way, I feel more prepared for DSA and System Design Interviews than ever. This also gives me more time to work on building the ChatGPT Clone Course.

I took new years eve and day off so there is nothing to recap. Based on some feedback I decided to adjust my time table. I'll be slowing down a bit with the intent to cap my study time to around 4 hours/day.

Reviewed some basics, Binary Search specifically and did a few DSA drills. I need to catch up on my notes as my repo is a bit behind now.

Day three was a lot of reading and a few DSA problems. I decided to focus on Dynamic Programing problems because they are one area I've struggled with.

I'm going to keep this one short. I worked on this project for around 12 hours yesterday. I overdid it in some ways but the biggest hurdle is that I'm still establishing how I'm keeping things organized. I have everything in one code repository with a bunch of markdown files for all the notes I'm taking. This project is meant to be a reference for later so i'm writing down way more than I would otherwise. As far as what I did: - Read 1 chapter of the book "Cracking The Coding Interview"; - Solved 4 easy DSA problems; - Rewatched a lecture from a system design course I took 2 years ago. Took notes on: - DSA problems completed - Big-O notation - System Design lecture I found the biggest time suck was deciding what to take notes on and how to keep those organized. I hope I have a good foundation now and it should be faster going forward.
