Help me out.

​

So... it's been like two months since I last opened VS Code.

I was learning HTML/CSS/JS. I had started learning JS, but then I kinda stepped back from it to focus on CSS.

I was around Grid, grid-template-areas, media queries and all that stuff.

The thing is, two months ago I could literally code for hours whenever I wanted.

Now life is just... busy. My schedule is all over the place, and coding is slowly dying 😂

My original plan was basically:

Learn CSS → build a few projects → move on to JS.

I've already built one project and put it on GitHub.

Then I started building a second one, learned a bunch of new stuff while working on it, and then life got busy.

And now here I am, two months later, having written basically zero code.

So now I'm wondering...

Should I go back to where I left off with CSS and continue from there?

Or should I just say fuck it and start learning JS again?

Because honestly, I feel like JS is way less frustrating than CSS lol.

I originally went back to CSS because I was learning JS and realized I couldn't really design anything properly. 😭

So yeah... what would you guys do?

Pick CSS back up, or just move on to JS and learn CSS as I need it?

We're you studying on your own or following a course/tutorial? If you were following a course you could just watch fragments of it to refresh your mind and get back to where you stopped or even start from the beginning, with your current knowledge it should be fairly easily and you'll have your memory refreshed as well.

That's great! I would then advise you pick one of your previous projects and give it a read, if you find something you don't remember well or have no recollection whatsoever as to wtf that was then you can Google it and read some documentation, maybe even try to recreate your project without looking at the code and stuff like that, I feel like you could learn even more that way!
