Which activities make you lose track of time?
Have you ever been so absorbed in something that hours passed by without you realizing it? That’s exactly what happens to me when I’m building coding projects. It’s more than just a hobby—it’s a passion that blends creativity, learning, and the thrill of problem-solving.
The Joy of Losing Track of Time
When I sit down to code, especially while working on challenges from DevChallenges.io, I enter a flow state. These mini-projects give me the perfect mix of structure and freedom—pushing me to think creatively while building something real.
Among all the steps in the process, writing HTML is my favorite part. There’s something deeply satisfying about structuring the content of a webpage—laying the foundation for everything else to follow.

Why Coding Projects?
I’ve realized that even when I have a full day to myself with no distractions, I naturally gravitate toward coding. It excites me. It energizes me. It gives me purpose.
But here’s what makes it even better—sharing my work on GitHub. That moment when I push a commit and publish a new project? It fills me with excitement. Knowing someone might stumble upon it and find it helpful makes the effort feel even more rewarding.

The Interruptions and How I Handle Them
Of course, I’m human. Sometimes I lose my flow when I suddenly remember something else I need to do. It’s a bit frustrating, but I try to capture those thoughts quickly and return to what I love—building.

My Dream Project
If I had unlimited time, I’d build a series of interactive portfolio projects that showcase both my full stack development and analytics skills. These wouldn’t be just static pages—they’d be functional, dynamic, and data-driven. Something I can proudly show to potential collaborators, clients, or employers.

Final Thoughts
Sometimes we find joy in the simplest things. For me, it’s typing out lines of HTML, debugging JavaScript, or connecting a database—all while sipping on tea and letting the hours melt away. If you’re someone who’s still figuring out what lights you up, I’d say: follow what makes you lose track of time.
That’s where the magic begins.
