Thinking of learning Web development on the weekends

Recently i have started learning DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS, but i was being really unproductive and just procrastinating to learn the dsa concepts then i got an idea what if i started documenting my thoughts and ideas and first i was making a blogger account and searching for a good themes but i didn't find any great theme and the interface for writing is really bad for blogger and i am really comfortable in writing on hashnode as i have wrote before on it

i have to say earlier i was thinking of it as a way to get a job and then i just have to write something to make people notice me and may be somebody will notice me , so i wrote few articles on the topic of oops, classes , etc. using chat gpt and knowledge i got from watching lectures on youtube . But the problem was that i didn't really wanna do it i was living this fake hope that once i do it everything will happen at once and i will get a job and thinking of it like a hack rather than a self made path of thing i like . so after 3-4 posts i quit and i think its been around 4-5 months i guess , i just recently deleted those posts cause i was looking at them and realised that they were looking some chat gpt posts rather than my posts , and i will start writing daily or whenever i am getting the vibes for it .

so when i was thinking of writing daily , i got this idea that what if i start learning web dev again and make a website for myself using it as a daily diary. i will be able to learn web development and i will also be able to articulate my thoughts. but now i have logged into hasnode and i am writing again i am thinking there won't be a lot of benefits for me to learn web dev on weekends cause the main purpose for it has also been fulfilled which was to build a website to write daily on and as i have found hasnode ,i just don't think that there is any real benefit to learn web dev on weekends . but i also realised that i can continue reading the book i started few days ago " computer networking : a top down approach ". so i would continue reading that book rather than learning web development on weekends . i will also increase my productivity on learning dsa by giving time daily to dsa in the evening after 5 pm and after that just reading the computer networking book and then the ai book that i like or vice versa ,

but the main idea for me now is to kinda be in the developers mindset from 5pm in the evening to 9 pm in the night, so i would have 4 hours and i can perform deep work in those 4 hours and i can increase my productivity in that time like muscles by training daily

so in those 4 hours , i would do

  1. data structures and algorithms

  2. reading computer networking : a top down approach

  3. reading a book on ai , ml or any tech or any topic that interests me

this is great i feel like i am one step better than my previous self as i now know when i have to give my undivided attention to something

one important thing that i also have to make sure is that i have to make sure that i don't cook the dinner cause it will burn a lot of time , i have to do takeaway and its the best option for my productivity cause i can get healty food and it will save me a great deal of time .
