Even if you are not working full time, you may be going to school or taking care of kids, anything that takes up a ton of time, this still applies to you. Also anyone that has any tips from their own experiences, Id love to hear

[@hossameldinshaheen5366]

please i need to know if you will make react course like angular i know you have one with node but i am asking for react essential with projects ?

[@mohammadakbar32]

Traversy Media , fps means you try to be a person who is always up to date with techs at job and the fp to solve the problems ? that's amazing bro!

[@mohammadakbar32]

Traversy Media you're really my kinda person who struggle to avoid playing video games 😎

[@mohammadakbar32]

Traversy Media i tried to alternate my sleeping time but it didn't worked for me so finally again i started sleeping at 1 - 2am and waking up at 7am in normal days , now it's actually a month of Ramadan for Muslims but still for me its same

[@mohammadakbar32]

for me how it works is, 3-5 days 4-5hrs sleeps work great and after this i should have to sleep 7hrs aleast one day

[@hemantdubey313]

I always say Your channel is my home channel. You not only talk perfectly about technical subjects but you understand real life problem and dilemma of a programmer or want to be a programmer. You are true Guru. Thanks Brad.💖

[@TraversyMedia]

Hemant Dubey thanks for that. It means a lot

[@hemantdubey313]

Traversy Media : I can shout it loud Brad that your are the best in my view, the contents like this video is only be done by you. There is no match for you there. Lots of love and much much respect.

[@__prod1gy__793]

I was hardcore gamer my whole life until i started to learn web development 2 months ago,i was hooked immediately i dont even think about games anymore im furious i wasted so much time and now im 33 and learning from zero(hoping to hero)

[@mikeigoe]

35 here, same boat. Worked as a dev but never got into web development, wasted a decade churning out WinFoms apps. Had really slipped into that clock-punching mode. React really energised me, and the evolved JavaScript is really fun to work with, especially with Node/NPM ecosystem. If you have that enthusiasm, you'll get there in no time. Learning something you really love learning never tends to take long :) Good luck!

[@supreetpp]

Hardcore gamer here.... I still play a lot of games, but yeah once i find something interesting to code it gets me hooked on more than games....

[@Hasnain1F]

__Prod1gy__ NS I stopped playing games about a year ago (I started playing as soon as I could pick up the controller). I am 20, got a job as a full srack developer. Also, I'm self taught.

[@tanzzzzz225]

@@Hasnain1F we literally have sammme story. It's been a year since i un installed steam. I am in my final year of college n already got 3 job offers. Will be joinning in january as a software engineer. Games if not controlled, can waste a lot of your time.

[@ravikhatri24]

Bless you man, i am 22 thinking like i have wasted time playing useless games that didn't contribute to any skills for me . Now after hearing your motivation story to learning web development , i think i am not late

[@HeartzHugzKissez]

Thanks for the incite. I'm only one month into my job and I can already feel myself getting burnt out... I used to be someone who would spend most of my free-time watching tutorials and taking online courses. Now I can't even stand to look at code outside of work.

[@stephh4392]

I am doing a full-time job, and i am trying to learn and watch a video everyday after work. but like Brad said, hard to do it after work, I think i will change to a morning person and learn in the early morning like u. I really admire Brad for learning all these stuff on his own and teach us on youtube, thank u for your great contribution

[@phillipgarcia8219]

I love that you keep it so real and uncut. Definitely my go to.

[@surinfarmwest6645]

Brad, thanks for taking the time to do this, I always have a pen and paper with me to write things down. West

[@midnighttornado22]

Thanks for taking the time to make this vid. I'm sure most of us already knew in our gut what you covered, but just hearing it from another source from time to time I think helps to confirm our instincts.

[@stanleybonhomme7811]

Man I really needed this vid. I'm trying to find a balance between my job and learning to become a developer. Thanks Brad!

[@kanaanbahmani5062]

these type of talks that you make helps me a lot, it also reveals all my stress and makes me really happy that someone already knows about us beginner's concerns and wants to help us. you're amazing man love you bro.

[@edwinboon9574]

I'm so happy I found your channel a while ago. Your tutorials are great and this talk is great!. With kids its so much harder indeed yarn yar. Keep it up Brad

[@DmitriyKl]

I love your positive outlook on life and love what you are doing for the coding community! Thank you Brad!

[@LordStaind]

This was the perfect time to release this video. I always had the concern or worry of how do developers learn on top of having a full time job and not sacrificing family or personal time. It is definitely difficult to strike the balance between learning new stuff and time off for things that you enjoy doing. Thank you Brad.

[@khamdamov]

That's what I need these days. I should manage my time. Thanks Brad. I really respect you. God bless you and your family.

[@oohkumar]

Brad, Discovered your channel a couple of months ago and it has quickly become THE place for all my topics around web development. Love the friendly, intimate and not too technical way you make complicated topics easy to understand. Thanks for your great channel. Simply the best!

[@deshawnminnis8540]

Great video Brad. I love that you are speaking on the importance of family and balance my brotha. I encouraged and inspired to start coding in the mornings. I usually hit the gym about 4 days a week, but I am going to switch it up and start coding a few mornings a week.

[@saschametz9018]

Thanks alot, i can apply (or already did) to my situation. im a full time dev and still have to study (because i was to slow before i got my job^^). Sometimes its hard to keep learning dev-stuff alongside my job and studying but aslong as you don’t lose your passion it will work. channels like yours are those which keep our passion alive!

[@salzee]

Thanks Brad, your input makes a lot of sense. Keep up the great work! Really enjoy listening to your thoughts..!

[@manish-mk]

Hey Brad, I have gone through many tutorials of yours in last 2 months. I have learnt a lot. Thanks for teaching us in the most simplest way. You are the best teacher. Hats off to you Sir. Lastly, Thank You so much for teaching us like your own child ☺

[@TraversyMedia]

Manish Kumar thanks! And you’re very welcome 😉

Thanks! 💗

[@kamalrys5559]

Thank you :)

[@alessandrobelottidev]

Thank you!!

[@makariyu69]

Watching this while at work. God bless you brad.

[@Martin-xx2kw]

Luv you man! Your are the best teacher, speaker, and just plain real!

[@jeffGordon852]

Humble.Honest. I really like your videos.

[@sahilkapoor7418]

These real life of a programmer related videos are amazing.... Just keep making good content like this. Its always great to watch your videos.

[@1337_vp]

Highly appreciate your videos mate. Great effort for putting all the content together. And above all, keeping it real.

[@EddyVinck]

I coded 16 hours last week outside of work.

[@TraversyMedia]

That's awesome. Just remember if you feel yourself getting burnt or less motivated to take it down a notch. That may not be you at all though, everyone is different

[@samha1513]

How do you do that? I can't focus longer than 30 minutes? Any suggestions ?

[@apprendreettransmettre9418]

Use pomodoro technique: work 25 mn pause 5 mn and repeat. (look for Francesco Cirillo and pomodoro in google)

[@EddyVinck]

Traversy Media Oh I definitely don't do that every week. I try to get around 10 hours done outside of work every week.

[@EddyVinck]

Sa ha I plan out my projects so I know what to work on and I use a to do app to help me keep track of things to do. This way I don't have a lot of downtime after I finish a feature. I also work on public transportation.

[@DjYoungize]

Really enjoy your videos. I can't believe how much i learned the past year constantly watching your youtube videos and Udemy courses. Keep up the good work ! ;p

[@chriswilson8584]

Awesome Brad. These videos are really helpful especially for those of us doing coding as a hobby. Sometimes I feel really isolated (my wife has no interest in my projects and I have no coder friends). Your advice videos really mean a lot to me.

[@mohammadakbar32]

thanks as always bro! God bless you and your family.

[@tapastrivedi8088]

Good God, this video hits me right in the head. That back-and-forth between gaming and my 12-hour job is how I'm spending my days, especially during lockdown. The fact that I really want to game after busting my ass off keeps me distracted from the kind of study I ought to be doing. Good pep talk Brad, hopefully I can re-evaluate my routine.

[@Brutalk1d]

So much wisdom in your words, Brad. You always know how to inspire other people! I agree with everything you said. Thank you loads for the job you do!

[@niccubagonoc9907]

Awesome words of wisdom Brad! Thank you for all the inspiration talk.

[@jakemorales7949]

Brad keeping it real. I sometimes get stressed when I struggle too much in coding, so I'll confide in video games or sleep. Often this is late at night, so I want to switch it up to the mornings. Thanks Brad!

[@TechnicalCafe]

Great advice, Brad! As someone who worked and went to school at the same time, I know that it can sometimes be difficult to find time to study or work on learning new topics, but your suggestions are definitely helpful to those who are interested in learning how to program (or any other skills for that matter).

[@AnasHaneya]

Thats definitely the way to go, time management, time management, time management, and yeah no time or limit time os social media, thanks for sharing this.

[@denisbozhko2067]

Thanks Brad for this kinda motivation video. It is always really hard to be productive and it is important to know that you are not alone in this struggle with yourself.

[@kadakenishant2813]

Hello Brad, Greetings of the day! Really appreciate your help and support through your videos. Both technical and motivational stuff. Thanks a ton for your help

[@birdofhermes6152]

Thanks for the suggestions. Really helpful !

[@Sir21Goals]

Such a good human being. I respect this brother a lot. Thanks Brad.

[@hironmoydhar8653]

You are a good person straight forward. I like the way you teach

[@robmonkriedlinger]

Thanks Brad. Talking about your amazing body of work on my Radio slot today... I love what you do and how you do it!

[@ducksoop.x]

I definitely agree with you about the mornings. I've been trying to land any part/full time summer job while I am away from college. Although, I am taking one summer course. I'll probably be working typical 9-5 or 9-4, so I could probably do learning before that time, especially since the commute is literally only 10 minutes.

[@Channel-yl9fh]

Thank you, Brad! Really enjoy your channel!

[@ethananglea9420]

Great video! Thanks for the advice. Loved the bit on social media!

[@alxndrdg8]

Hats off to you Brad! You are amongst those: 'Just do it' folks. For me, I require 9-10 hours of sleep and some things just don't get into my head - though I enjoy experts like you practice and show us. But simply amazing tips for people who want that little push to sail them through. Thanks again!

[@samueltobung5577]

Brat thank you for this video. Apart from coding this is important to manage oneself especially for people like us who are coding outside of our normal jobs while also trying to manage our families and trying to learn new web technologies. Thanks for the insight.

[@noah9376]

Thanks Brad. It's really good to hear encouragement of positive habits. Let's all keep working for a brighter future!

[@alexandramg1917]

Thank you, your experience is very useful for web developers most of stuff I learned on your channel.

[@nikhilgoyal007]

it's always a pleasure to hear you, thanks!

[@deylenergy5761]

Good tips and comprehensive explanations. You are one of the best instructors. Thank you.

[@brutaLCris]

Great information man! Switching from gaming to something more productive took me a bit but I started noticing that I wasn't enjoying my time gaming if I didn't do something productive first.

[@J_329]

I would also add lunch time in there. The " in 30 days of lunches" series are great. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@paulburger9904]

Your php course is allowing to do my job at work. Really appreciated it Brad!

[@qasimahmed3301]

I am in love with your content. I have learned so much from you!

[@the23rdsubject]

Thanks for this video! I recently lost my job at a company, and although the work was easy (very basic coding), I started losing interest and kept putting things off, which caught up to me. My fault! I realized that sometimes you have to eat shit to get a paycheck, but I don't believe you have to stay stuck. I'm taking this time to learn more and work on my portfolio and try to find a job that I enjoy, while also focusing on my own freelancing work. And thank you for the encouragement you give through these videos. Whether it's the tutorials, advice or sharing the difficulties of life. No excuses to achieve your goal! So here's to you and me, and let's make it happen. All the best! -Alan

[@czarlp]

I must say I do not watch all of your videos (seems reasonably to watch only those of your interests/areas in which you want to make progress) but I do always watch these "face to face" videos in which you talk about coding & real life, progressing, how to keep positive, etc. In that sense I think that I and many of us can say that we found a mentor. So thank you Brad for everything, greetings from Argentina!

[@Born2Gamble123]

Thanks always on the lookout for good podcast for mundane stuff like walking the dogs /driving etc.

[@surajjagtapridingvlogs3258]

Exactly right....morning routine is the key....thanks brad

[@sohan7068]

You're the best Brad! Thanks for everything!

[@ThiagoTAV]

Perfect video Brad, I am exactly in this situation right now. Always bringing the content that matters/stick.

[@noceur9102]

you are one of my main inspirations, thank you so much for the great advice! off topic but i'd really love to see some coding live streams from you. i recall you saying you might not be as comfortable doing so at the moment and that is perfectly fine, just a recommendation. you don't even have to talk, but it's always entertaining to watch someone code and kinda share what they're doing to maybe pick something up along the way. :))

[@tubehelpr]

Dude brand looks like you got some decent hardware these days! And what is that a live subscriber count?!? THAT'S motivation. BTW I work full time as a developer just got a job a few months ago and this video is spot on. Coworkers aren't as enthused as I am. Every morning I get up and work on learning and progressing in my cool side projects and I hope to never lose my passion!

[@PragmaticReviews]

Absolutely agree. I find it easy because I love learning technology and teaching it (learning it twice). Thank you Brad!

[@alexj4725]

Thanks Brad for the tips. Helpful

[@shibnathroy106]

You truly motivate me every day. Thank You.

[@cyberviolation8553]

thank you brad for all hours you try to make a easy understanding videos.

[@MarkoMelko]

Right place again Brad! Two lives, main job and fullstack role for own business + sports! Passion is on fire!

[@phudorjilama5790]

Thank you so much Brad 😇😊🙏🙏🙏 your videos are really really helpful 😊

[@utkarshdubey8641]

First here. Thanks for this brad. Although i am not working somewhere and too small to understand the industry stage but this thing is motivating.

[@Claudiuplay]

Thank you Brad for the awesome tips and for doing what you do

[@nahombiniam3790]

thank you for sharing your experience.

[@quintonwilson5775]

You're all ways hitting the right topics. I don't really put in comments on any KZbin videos, just wanted you to know you're doing a great job. I work in IT right now and hope one day I will get to be on the development team. Watching your videos gave me the courage to start coding again. Now I have a client that I'm doing a website for with my freelance that I'm doing part time and my IT Director at my job accepted one of my projects to implement into development. Still have so much learning to do, just managing my time the best that I can.

[@grunf5604]

Thanks for all these advices man!

[@pcgs_]

Wonderful words Brad, you're a great people , a great tutor. Keep it up.

[@usmanadil6755]

Awesome! Seems like you have made this video specially for me, Loving it Brad ❤

[@budkin]

Your videos are just awesome. Thank you so much for putting out all this great content Brad!

[@katharina9023]

Thank you for being my mentor without you knowing it. Really appreciate what you do as a job.

[@rayli208]

Thanks for all the content Brad. Always informative and honest information. Love your udemy courses, keep making this community great!

[@samha1513]

Is it my first time seeing the person behind all these great tutorials? Thank you sir for the great content and advises

[@ahmadhawwa3189]

Thank you Brad for everything

[@datasciyinfo5133]

Thanks Brad, You are one of role models I follow from afar. We’ve never met, but wish to send many happy karma to you for all the uplifting you have provided me. I especially benefit from the blog type videos, including the burnout and coming back to coding after a break ones. I am studying Python Data Science. But I apply all of your tips on studying coding. One suggestion I would add is try to sleep more. Matt Whitaker (Why We Sleep book) says there is much less than 1% of a population that can thrive on less than 6h average sleep. He recommends 7-9 h average for most adults. 1 extra hour for 1 day results in 25% less car accidents and 30% less heart attacks. So you’re left with being more productive during the normal hours. Use all the learning tools available to you.

[@SJW-pp3mz]

I did a web dev program in a college while working full time. I did a lot of the things you mentioned in this video. I got up a bit early and did some work, then when I got home from work I did some more. Weekends is when I finished up assignments and projects.

[@Lurker1222]

It’s amazing that every video you make it feels like you’re talking directly to me and my situation. My wife and I have very demanding full time jobs and we have a 2 year old. So my only time to study is after 9pm and that’s if I don’t spend any time with my wife after the nugget goes to bed. It’s really tough and if im being honest it’s hard to keep motivated. Your videos really do help though. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@taaratigadi7065]

Hello Brad, this is the first video of urs i watched and felt very nice . Keep motivating people👍

[@braed6202]

I can very much relate to your issue with being productive vs gaming. I was producing music and gaming, both as hobbies, and I realized how much of my time was being wasted being unproductive. Now I spend a lot of my time watching videos or reading blogs about productivity, coding, business etc and I feel better for it. It's hard to resist the urge to just game sometimes but i push myself and remind myself that gaming isn't going to develop me as a person or increase my salary potential :) Great video :)

[@vishaltaywade8069]

Its Really nice to appreciate ppl to do write things 👍 Brad! You explained very well 👌 Thanks dude 😊

[@AbhishekKumar-mq1tt]

U r real mentor for me and all learning developers who want to Polish our knowledge

[@johansuh1]

This is really great. I really want to learn more but I need some encouragement. I have a kid as well. Thank you.

You are a very good man sir thanks for the support ,God bless you! love from Tunisia

[@KylePrinsloo]

Excellent as always Brad. I used to learn and focus on my freelancing business an hour in the morning and a few hours at night so I can definitely relate to this.

[@KylePrinsloo]

Of course! :) Good to see you here Waren!

[@igorvrhovac8035]

You are so inspirational. Keep it up.Thank you.

[@jasonwitt95]

That's how I do it too, and hour or so in the morning. The morning is also the best time time to learn.
