I’d recommend learning how to write code actually. I have 11 certs and PD1 was one of the easiest one for me.

I would go deeper than trailheads and actually read developerforce

I’m planning on taking platform dev 1 for the first time soon! What resources have you used so far?

Focus on force exams, trailhead, apex academy

Have you completed the coding assignments on trailhead that go with PD1 (without googling for the answer)?

I failed the first time but then used focus on force practice exams and udemy course by Walid horr. It helped me learn the basic and I passed the second time after an intense 2.5 weeks of studying.

The FoF practice exams are great because they give you links to the SFDC developer guide for each question by section so you can focus on areas that you struggling and really try to understand the material.

I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship. I also don’t feel confident being on dating apps since I gained weight during the pandemic (about 30 lbs). I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent.

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
