Systems, timeline, and what's next

What it is

A simple loop: build something real, document it clearly, iterate until it's "good enough perfection," then move on.

How it shows up

• • I spend a lot of my "productive internet time" building my website.
• • I prefer output people can verify instead of claims people have to trust. (That's the point of a portfolio.)

Result

A recruiter can evaluate actual work instead of reading inflated bullet points.

The problem

Passive learning bores me fast. If someone is just reading slides, I would rather stay home and read.

The system

• • I learn by asking questions repeatedly and cycling the material until it sticks.
• • I almost never take notes because it does not help me much.

Result

It matches how my brain actually works, and it is consistent with finishing General Business on track with a strong GPA.

The problem

Distraction is easy when the phone is a slot machine. I treated that as an environment problem, not a personality problem.

The system

• • Short-form social media: deleted because it is too easy to waste hours.
• • Phone time: down to about 3 to 5 hours per day (used to be way higher).
• • Notifications: I try to eliminate them because constant buzzing hijacks attention.
• • Daily reminder I actually use: "Do not say anything negative today."
• • Gym: I train 4 to 5 days per week on average; it's where my mind quiets down and focus locks in.

Result

Less wasted attention, more consistency, and a reliable baseline to keep progressing.
