October 2021 Monthly Summary

October has been pretty intensive. First, a shift in my goals, and then everyday work that followed. As I’m writing this at the end of the month, I still cannot believe how much I’ve done so far. Obviously there’s way more to go through. However, I find learning combo of C++ and GC very interesting and refreshing. What is more, juggling between these two, allows me to avoid boredom and burnout.

Taking a look back I see that maybe I’ve overstretched myself a little. With additional work I’ve taken at work, October was intensive, and I can feel that. In Poland, November is usually a month of long-weekends (we have some public holidays in November), so I will try to use that for my benefit. There’s a time to put the hard work, and a time to recuperate.
