It's Not About How Many Opportunities You Have — It's About How Clear Your Goals Are

At some point recently, I realized I have too many options. Raspberry Pi 5, a decent PC setup, Arduino boards from my friend, access to powerful tools and tech — all of it just sitting there, ready. But that abundance actually threw me off.

I started procrastinating in a weird way. Not out of laziness, but because I felt overwhelmed. So many paths, so many ideas — and suddenly I was paralyzed by choice. The day would pass, and I’d feel like I didn’t do anything meaningful.

Daily goals are a must

Without daily goals, focus just falls apart. Even when I know something is important to me — like getting deeper into AI, or improving the architecture of my codebase — it’s still too vague. You need something like a pin on a map: What exactly am I doing today?
Otherwise, you end up swimming in circles, weighed down by your own ambition and sense of responsibility.

Yesterday was a "vibe coding" session

Yesterday I was deep in the zone — coding with Cursor IDE. That session gave the whole project a boost in architecture. Now, I owe it to myself to actually break down why it works, not just stare at it in awe. I sort of get it, but I can’t build on top of it independently yet. That’s the next step.

Learn from mistakes. Doesn’t matter whose.

This one’s simple. Learn from mistakes. Yours, someone else’s — doesn’t matter. Just make sure you don’t repeat them. That’s how you move forward.

AI, Machine Learning & the Catch-Up Game

Today was supposed to be all about catching up. I lost the thread somewhere in my AI and ML course, I kind of drifted. But the cool thing is, once I start picking it back up, I instantly see how I can apply it. The knowledge isn’t just abstract anymore — it’s something I can use right now to build real stuff.

And honestly? It’s not even AI that’s pulling me in the most. It’s some kind of engineering.

I’m drifting — no, moving — towards something like aerodynamic engineering. I’m not married to the name yet, but I know for sure: I’m drawn to the mechanics of flight — planes, drones, rockets, you name it.
By summer, I plan to turn that curiosity into real, hands-on projects.

Z1rass kinda got me hooked on this path. I’ve got Raspberry Pi boards just waiting to be used, and my hands are itching to make something that flies. I know the creativity is there — it just needs direction.

Final Thought

The point isn't to do everything at once. The point is to figure out what actually matters right now, and get specific.

Wanna build an engineering desk? Write out a plan. Break it into steps.
Wanna dive into AI? Catch up on the material and start exploring project ideas.

You already have everything you need. What’s left is structure.

“The dream of an engineering desk” isn’t a dream if you start building it — even if, at first, it’s just a list in a notebook.
