Week 1 Reflection: What I Learned About Myself on My Cloud & DevOps Journey

Week 1 taught me more about how I learn than about cloud infrastructure itself.
The biggest insight: consistent daily practice beats cramming. Small, focused sessions compound over time and I felt that difference this week.
The weakness I had to confront: too many tutorials, not enough building. I also overthink before starting instead of just diving in. Passive consumption and analysis paralysis — two loops I’m actively breaking.
The system I’m committing to Mon to Fri, 7:30–9:30 PM:

30 mins reviewing previous concepts
60 mins hands-on lab practice
30 mins documenting and updating GitHub

I’m sharing this publicly for accountability. I don’t have it all figured out but that’s exactly what makes it worth documenting.
Week 2 starts now.
