I am using the Pomodoro…

I am using the Pomodoro technique to do my studying. I use the default of four twenty-five minutes studying time, with three five minutes break in between the twenty-five minutes, and on the last twenty-five minutes, I take a fifteen minutes break. This works for me. I have read that the twenty-five minutes are too short for some people and they have adjusted the time to be fifty-minutes, basically doubling the time with the same breaks as I previously stated. There is no set rule for the Pomodoro, as long as you get to complete what is set out to be completed, the Pomodoro technique, I believe, is a good technique to use to focus on things that one needs focusing on and to complete.

There are all kinds of Pomodoro apps, Websites, and plugins for the Web browser. I am not affilicated to the following site, but found the Pomodoro site useful: https://pomofocus.io/

YIKES!!! Slipped and have to…

YIKES!!! Slipped and have to dust myself off and get back to studying!

End of the year is upon me… I can do this. A least one certification completed this year (2023). I need this to prove to myself that I can do this!

Entry #1698528784

Congratulations!

You have completed Module 2.

Well done! You’ve reached the end of Module 2 and completed a major milestone in your Python programming education. Here’s a short summary of the objectives you’ve covered and become familiar with in Module 2:

  • the basic methods of formatting and outputting data offered by Python, together with the primary kinds of data and numerical operators, their mutual relations and bindins;
  • the concept of variables and variable naming convetions;
  • the assignment operator, the rules governing the buidling of expressions;
  • the inputting and conveting of data;

You are now ready to take the module quiz and attempt the final challenge: Module 2 Test, which will help you gauge what you’ve learned so far.
