5-5-5

It's been 3(!) weeks since we've been out of Hackbright and I'm starting to wonder if I'll continue counting these weeks until I get a job. Probably. The 3-6 months average (for HB grads to find a job after the program) has been pretty much ingrained in my head. I hope I'm closer to the 3-month mark than 6-month mark.

Now that I've been out of Hackbright for 3+ weeks, I feel like I have a better idea of how my time has been intentionally (and sometimes unintentionally) carved out. Knowing what is and and isn't feasible, here's how I want my time to be carved out moving forward:

Introducing: Karen's 5-5-5 Daily Job Searching Rule (Mondays - Fridays)
5 Job Applications
5 Coding Challenges
5 Sections on Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures

And wherever I can fit in some emails, I'll do it. Even though I can already see myself having some difficulty on days when I have meetups or coffee meetings scheduled, I think I'll adhere to this rule as much as I can, especially the first two.

On weekends I'll focus on building out my projects and reviewing coding challenge solutions.

We'll see how this goes!
