The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
I have a two-pronged approach where I want to get better at harder tech which is math followed by then machine learning and softer tech which would be backend and frontend. I try to devote more time to my soft stuff. It's just that the things I do on mathacademy are easier to track and quantify with built-in dashboards whereas I have to keep manual track of my web dev stuff. I want to be employable asap, I try to get 4 hours off programming besides my math work in daily.
I would guess in the long term it should help, I eventually want to work on machine learning, in case it becomes a deterrent, I would change course and reduce my workload, for now I should be able to do the pre-requisite math for Machine Learning stuff by march end and I should be through with a lot of my boot.dev and the current front end book plus another that is javascript-based.
I do enjoy it which is something I would have never said about doing math or puzzles, it is quite different from leetcode, worth checking out.
