3,016 PointsHow many hours a day do I need to be working on a course?
So I started the front end web development course and I basically decided to work on one library in that track per day. Is that very less or do I need to be working more? I want to work hard but I don't want to implode(if that makes sense). Like when one overtrains at the gym. I would like some free time as well since I'm currently in the middle of summer break. But I don't want to procrastinate lol.

Treehouse offer suggestions for tasks to complete each day to keep you on track, but it sounds like you might have time and energy for more. I would focus on completing those recommended tasks on your home page each day if you're worried about procrastinating or slacking off.

3,016 Pointsjason chan 8 hours?!! Not that that's too much, I AM committed, but I am also studying a language, so I need to make time for that too. How about 4-6 hours? Seem legit?

3,016 Pointsjason chan you know what, 8 hours could be a good thing since I am currently in summer break, I might actually consider that. I can squeeze in some language learning in-between as well. We'll see.
