Comptia just announced a cloud+ beta. Think I might take it just to feel out the material, it’s $50 and I’m interested in cloud security aspects in the future, so why not. Next few posts will be about the road to studying this, linux and cysa…because why not I’ve got time.
I written about my troubles with time over and over, it’s a reoccurring theme. Time shouldn’t be one’s enemy, but sometimes it does feel like it is. I know that I have a strong procrastination streak and thus far it hasn’t hurt me,but I want to be better with my time, even if it was just to make myself feel a bit more organized.
I also believe that this is a personal concept. Time, can feel like a weight for some and for others making schedules and being on top of their time management can feel cathartic. For me, it’s a tad bit more anxiety-filling. Bullet notebooks and super strict schedules make me itch. I don’t think “habit-tracking” is for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I do work better when I know things are due and I’m responsible, but not when that makes these things micromanage my time and effort. I like knowing there is a date and then finishing whatever, whenever I’m ready by that date. I cannot do the daily scheduled work, it just makes things tedious and increases the pressure I already put on myself.
Which is why I came up with a nice little Gantt Chart for the 5 main things that I want to learn for the first halfish of this year. I only included things that I can find a certification for to judge my progress by. I only have the certification exam scheduled for Linux+ though; I bought that last year and have a hard deadline of September to take this exam, though I scheduled to take it Mid-July.
I do sometime wonder if the lack of a coherent tracking system is somehow holding me back from like “my full potential”. Other times I think that this works; the way I work works for me. It will not work for everyone or most, but it works for me. Besides, do I really need one more thing to try to learn and stress over?
