Planning training

Hello! I want to tell you about a site that turned out to be very useful for me in conjunction with a story called “What Not to Do.” I got hooked on JavaRush in the spring. When I was at level 5, JavaRush released a promotion - half price subscription! Being young, inexperienced and greedy for freebies (or almost freebies), especially since the 50% discount on an annual subscription is quite significant, I decided to buy a subscription at a promotional rate, especially since the pace of my learning seemed quite fast to me. Closer to summer, I had a break from studying - work took its toll. Then vacation is sacred. When I came to my senses it was already August, and I was at the eighth level. I'm in a quiet panic - there's so much to do, but I don't have time. I know from my years in college that the best medicine is planning. Planning alone is sometimes enough to calm down and move on with your life. Research began on planning methods - surfing the Internet led me to the immortal Gantt chart. I myself did not use the Gantt chart, since there were no such large-scale and time-drawn projects. Many resources tell you how to do it in Excel, offer templates for downloading, ready-made and paid applications. I adore Excel, but its functionality seemed insufficient to me - I needed more mobility and interactivity, although, if you think about it, then ... in any case, this is a waste of such precious time. Further searches on the Internet led me to the site ganttpro.com - an on-line Gantt chart. There is a free limited version, but that's enough for me. So, I registered. I divided the number of days remaining until the end of the subscription by the number of levels that need to be completed. I received that I was allowed to spend seven days on one level. I wrote out the tasks by level. I divided the levels into lessons. In further development, I break lessons with tasks into tasks; levels with lectures - at lectures; I specifically highlighted the study of theoretical material, even the study of Help. During the process, I correct the planned time for the actual one, that is, I note the beginning of the task, the end, and significant breaks. For example, when there is not enough knowledge to solve a problem and I have to switch to searching for theory, I break the problem into subtasks and in each subtask I record a stage, leaving descriptions, so that over time I can remember why I was delayed here. I also included weekends in the calculation, since my disturbed nervous system insisted that I was not getting anything done. It’s only been my second day working on the diagram, but it’s already clear how much time I spend on the levels. Now I can plan! And the most important thing is that I closed the ninth level ahead of schedule and the panic disappeared. Although I admit that it is difficult to work at such a pace, fortunately, circumstances still allow it. Now I want to create a time buffer that will allow me, firstly, to rest more, since it is still difficult to study in this mode, and, secondly, in case of unforeseen time expenses, I won’t have to panic again and rush to catch up on lost time. Well, pictures.
