When trying to better yourself in some way, it can be tempting to pick up a book on the subject and start making changes, but that is neither a sustainable, nor effective way to go about it. Instead, you need to structure things so that you can be successful from the outset, even with the inadequacy of the average self-help book.

Burnout is a nasty and insidious process. It can sap your ability to push through challenges and ultimately cause you to fail if not dealt with quickly. It typically occurs when you have been overworked or over stressed for an extended period of time and have reached a breaking point. Burnout doesn't happen in a day, and can not be recovered from in a day. It's a plague on the software industry. Unfortunately, most of us aren't taught how to recover from burnout. We tend to learn it the hard way through experience.

Generally speaking a data type is either primitive or composite. A primitive data type can either be a basic type that provides the basic building blocks for a language or a built-in type that the language treats and supports as a basic type. Composite types are ones that are a combination of primitive types or other composite types. These may or may not be built into the language you are using.

The theme for this past year has been goal setting. Writing your story goes beyond setting and achieving your goals. Stories are about growth and change. It is becoming your own guiding influence. Writing your story can help you find your voice. Telling your story affirms your values. It also helps you to find peace or hope. Sharing your story can help others.

Best practices can help protect you from preventable errors and make it easier to reason about the code. Date and time libraries exist for a reason. That reason is because dates and times are complex to deal with programmatically, especially if they aren't the main purpose of your application.

Time and date management are complicated and nasty on computers, because they are complicated and nasty in real life. While we often think of being able to tell time as being simple, historically it hasn't been. We're continually having to work to keep our timekeeping devices accurate so that we can use their results for everything from manufacturing to navigation, encryption, and missile guidance. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize time over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. The goal is to synchronize all participating computers to within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Time is a complex subject and is heavily tied into our understanding of the universe. It has driven a lot more technological change and social change than you might think. Time is tricky to manage, but not bad, until you realize what's sitting atop this concept. In addition to distance and direction, time is probably one of the most important ways that we organize our reality.
