0️⃣ Set aside time for regular training. At least half an hour or an hour a day, at a comfortable pace. Regularity is more important than quantity.

6️⃣ Document your tasks. This is necessary for colleagues and for your own convenience, if you need to return to the task after some time.

⠀

7️⃣ Ask yourself the question:

what problem am I solving now? can it be solved differently? what can be improved? Clarify all requirements before you start doing the task.

⠀

8️⃣ Develop soft skills, learn to convey your point of view.
