Hey Papafam Community, If you're looking to take your productivity and skill mastery to the next level, I’ve got two must-reads for you. These books have profoundly shaped the way I approach work and learning, and I believe they’ll do the same for you: 1. So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport In this game-changing book, Cal Newport debunks the “follow your passion” myth and instead advocates for the power of developing rare and valuable skills. Newport’s insights will help you understand why becoming exceptional in your craft can lead to greater job satisfaction and success. 2. The Programmer’s Brain by Felienne Hermans This book is a treasure for developers at any level. Felienne Hermans delves deep into how our brains process and understand code, offering practical techniques to improve learning and problem-solving. It’s an essential read for anyone who wants to code more effectively and gain a deeper understanding of programming concepts. Both books provide actionable takeaways that will transform the way you develop your skills and approach your projects. Trust me, these reads are worth every minute! Happy reading and keep pushing boundaries! Remember Learn - Do - Teach Is one of the best approach to keep you coding skill leveling up and their is lot of science backing it up. Keep doing you Peace 👊

Reflections: Well, this is it for me on this challenge. It has been a good exercise. A good chance to reflect on how I am using my time, if I am fully taking advantage of my days etc. It has helped me focus more, strengthen good habits and eliminate or dilute bad ones. Ready to keep pushing forward. 1️⃣a Good Sleep Last Night: ✅ Very good. Reading a book before bed always helps me to sleep better. Daily exercise is also so important. Preferably first thing in the morn. 1️⃣b Productive Morning: ✅ Got up early and went for a recovery walk. Was going to have a light jog but still feeling a bit too sore from the race at the weekend. Came back to find the cat had chewed through the internet cable, so hotspotting from my phone atm. I will sort out a new cable later today. 2️⃣ Organise to-dos… and do them: ✅ 3️⃣ 30 Minutes of Learning: ✅ Reading various docs and going a bit deeper on Cursor AI 4️⃣ Time to Code: ✅ Today is more of a job application, networking, and study day, but I did fix a few bugs 5️⃣ Daily Reset: ✅ 6️⃣ Support the Community: ✅ Useful Link: Why Front-End Developers Should Be Entrepeneurs https://blog.openreplay.com/six-tips--why-front-end-developers-should-be-entrepreneurs/ 7️⃣ Daily 49 link: https://www.skool.com/universityofcode/day-49-of-dev50-mon-18th-nov?p=e4e748e3
