I am tired. I am working too long without taking a break. I need to start taking breaks again. Every 1:30 to 2 hours. I do it before lunch. But after lunch, I need to take a break at around 4 and then at 5:15 or 5:30. I am staying until 7PM, so I have to use my time wisely so I can work at the highest efficiency.
Design patterns is what I am currently reading. I need to be able to know at good level of detail how each GoF pattern work. I need to be able to dive in and actually develop a pattern. That’s how I’m going to remember design patterns. I also need to learn architectural patterns. I have read an excellent book on the subject. I need to re-read portions of it and start playing with it codewise.
I noticed that I like to create things in software. I don’t like to sit idly and just add a thing here or there. What excites me is building stuff from scratch.
I also notice that I might be a good leader. It excites me. I like to teach people. I like to drive them so they can improve. This is my future. I need to set my goals clear and work agressively towards them. This might be possible at my current job, or I might have to move somewhere else. I should know as we go along in Toastmasters which provides great training for me.
