Tips to Stay Consistent

1. 1 small goal per day—don’t try to finish the whole app in one day.

2. Use GitHub—commit every day to track progress.

3. Ask for help—forums, StackOverflow, or ChatGPT.

4. Review at the end of each week—even 30 mins to check what you learned.

If you want, I can also make a day-by-day schedule with exactly which exercises and mini-projects to do each day, so you won’t waste time wondering what to learn next.

Do you want me to make that detailed daily schedule?
