🧠 Code Comeback Diaries – Day 2: A Win, A Fall, A Lesson


This is part of my “Code Comeback Diaries” series where I rebuild my focus, skills, and career — one day at a time.
Today started off with a solid win. I managed to do:
✅ 20 Pushups
✅ 20 Squats
✅ 10 Pull-ups
Feeling good, I took a bath, had breakfast, and thought I'd just check notifications on my last blog post...
Well, that turned into an hour-long scroll through YouTube Shorts. 😑
Eventually, I put the phone away and got back to coding — improved the hero section of my blog website.
Then came lunch → which turned into a "small nap" → which became a 2-hour blackout nap. 😅
Woke up at 5 PM, and without realizing, slid into another 3-hour Shorts spiral.
😔 The Guilt
And here I am — ending the day with guilt and frustration.
But instead of hiding it, I’m writing it down.
Because this comeback won’t be perfect.
It’ll be messy, full of slips — but consistent.
Tomorrow, I’ll try again.
Because the only way out is through.
✍️ Mini Goals for Tomorrow
No Shorts in the morning
Code next section of the blog layout
25 pushups this time
If you're reading this and you're also trapped in the loop — don't quit. Let’s climb out of this pit, one day at a time.
See you tomorrow 👊
