Overcoming Fear v.3 - 5.75.7G - Ampers&d's Journal

[Ampersnd]

Day 49, T-Minus 132 days until end, 2nd day ON,

Noticing that my desires for a better life is outweighing my internal resistances against doing the work to get this better life.
I haven't done the actual work yet (mostly due to my time being largely booked), but I'm itching to get started on them.

Do you have any exact plans or just a vague ideas for the work to achieve the better life?

Yes, my plans would be to i) to apply to tech jobs and ii) to create extra coding projects outside of my bootcamp's curriculum.
I'm almost exactly at 5 months of the 6-month course; we're learning React, then MERN, then State/Redux. Then it's the final project.

The location of these tech jobs would be out of town; more specifically, Montreal. I live about 7 hours away, and I'm in a different province.
But, I'd have to check out Montreal to look for which part of town I'd want to live.
I have plenty of savings which would allow me to move.

The hesitancies are, in part, my current responsibilities - i.e., my coding deadlines and my current job - in a different field. Also, the COVID numbers are getting better but there's no guarantee that they'd be stellar by the time I get this job. Montreal was a huge red zone during the worst part, and they were among the first to reopen. But, I am fully vaccinated.

All in all, I should start soon and deal with any inconveniences as they come, instead of fantasizing about a perfect time.
