The Beginning

I started by accepting challenge given by Scaler Community and I’ve decided to give my full dedication and effort to complete this challenge. There was a lot to learn, and it was going to be a long journey that required a lot of discipline. But, I thought, the more work I put into it now, the more it will pay off later.

And then there are two main requirements in order to complete this challenge:

  1. Code a minimum of an hour every day for 365 consecutive days
  2. Tweet your progress every day with the #scalerdiscord & #365daysofcode hashtag

So this is a system to give you structure, direction, and public accountability to keep you on track. And it seemed like a great way to motivate myself and keep up that progress.

The idea was to code every day, turning it into a habit. You couldn’t allow yourself any excuses that you’d normally make when putting off something. This “forces” significant strides forward over time that you would otherwise take much longer to achieve, or not achieve at all.

There are additional benefits as well. Since coding involves concepts that continuously build on each other, if you go several days without coding, a fair amount of knowledge is lost.

So to really accelerate my learning, and to make major progress towards achieving my goal, I actually dedicated myself to pursuing the challenge full time, instead of just one hour per day. And after that I reached on that magical 2nd Milestone 50Day mark.

Day 50

So how did I do it — and how can you?

There are several things you can do to help you stay on track and reach your goals. Some of them are described above and include:

  • giving your progress some structure and accountability with something like #365DaysOfCode
  • setting small incremental & realistic goals and reaching them along the way
  • pair-programming or find programming buddy
  • finding groups to join and learn along with

At last I just want to conclude on a short note i,e, we all know “Consistency is the only key to Success” and to build consistency Scaler provides rewards and recognition whenever a person hit a particular milestone so that one can feel motivated and will able to pursue this challenge with full enthusiasms and dedication.

So, what’re you all waiting for, let’s take part in this initiative by Scaler and become 1% better everyday. Join Scaler Discord Server and help yourself to grow with the community. Hope this article gave you some insights on how to become consistent and code daily.
