Last 3 months
I was quite content with how 2025 started off. Things were falling into place and it was quite smooth. Have slacked off in the last 3 months to be honest. After the GSOC application test submissions, I felt “burned out” - which was actually a disguise for lack of discipline and passion. In the last month I have relapsed and fell into a pattern of bare survival. Close retrospection reveals that my environment driven action is not effective. As soon as I am in my comfort zone, I have stopped chasing or getting better. I have messed up a very important interview (update: I did not they stopped hiring hence didn’t hear from them for a long time), couldn’t clear GSOC. What is next?
