Honestly, it is quite messed up as I quit my job and went all into https://www.selftalk.ing/. No fix timings :(
@realdesigntack I get it, startups require a lot of hard work, but they pay off in the long run. You'll definitely find a good balance as you move forward :)
I’m very inconsistent with a schedule. But I usually wake up, get homework done, study, do some coding, workout or eat, get ready for sleep.
My daily work schedule is like a finely tuned algorithm: a blend of coding marathons, data analysis jigs, and coffee refuels to keep the programming engines running smoothly! How about yours?
