ᵁᴾᴰᴬᵀᴵᴺᴳ My 🆕 #100DaysOfCode Challenge: 100 Workdays of Coding!
Why I'm Taking the Challenge
Starting May 2, 2025, I'll be diving into the #100DaysOfCode challenge—but with a twist! Instead of coding for 100 consecutive days, I'll be coding on workdays only (Monday to Friday), no weekends included! This means my challenge will run until October 20, 2025.
I'm doing this to focus on developing my content management system (CMS) while keeping a sustainable pace for my lifestyle. Coding one hour every single day might be overwhelming, but 100 dedicated workdays feels both achievable and impactful! I hope this time those naughty amateur magicians stay sleepy, he-he.
What I'll Be Working On
My main focus will be my CMS project—building, refining, and optimizing it to be more functional and efficient. This will involve:
- Enhancing database structure and queries
- Improving user interface and experience
- Implementing new features
- Debugging and performance optimizations
My Coding Schedule
- Start Date: May 2, 2025 (Friday)
- End Date: October 20, 2025 (Monday)
- Workdays only (Monday–Friday), skipping weekends and Croatian public holidays
Each day, I'll aim to code for a consistent amount of time (minimum one hour) and track my progress along the way.
How I'll Stay Motivated
- Posting regular updates on my blog
- Sharing milestones and challenges on social media
- Engaging with the #100DaysOfCode / #100DaysOfCoding community for support and inspiration
- Keeping a log of lessons learned and improvements made
My Goal by the End
By October 20, I aim to have a fully improved and functional CMS that aligns with my vision. More importantly, I want to develop a consistent coding habit that I can sustain long-term!
