Team Dating App for Animal Adoption is killing it. We have established a solid plan to bring this application to life and it makes me very excited for the upcoming terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first checkpoint for getting development going on this project involved implementing a couple of simple “dummy” pet profiles with the like and unlike functionality along with integrating a Bootswatch theme using Bootstrap. Working with Typescript and Next.js has been a new experience, but I am enjoying learning some new tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I have had some exposure to Bootstrap in the past, my experience has been minimal. For this project, we decided to go with the latest version of Bootstrap and chose the “minty” theme from Bootswatch. It is incredible how smooth Bootstrap makes the design process, creating consistency and providing a nice color palette to reduce time spent customizing the styling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the end of the term approaches, it has led me to reflect on the techniques that have helped me to be productive throughout this term. Whenever I feel stuck or overwhelmed, I find it helpful to make a list of all the tasks I am trying to accomplish and then determine priority for each task. This approach helps break these tasks into smaller chunks, making the overall goal more manageable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To maintain my focus and be productive, I have been using the Pomodoro Technique. This technique involves setting a timer for 25 minutes, putting away all distractions, and dedicating my full, undivided attention on whatever task I am working on. Once I crush that session, I take a 5 minute break away from the computer before starting the next session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another piece to the puzzle that has helped me with managing stress and working with my team is communication. Working closely with others can present challenges, but I’ve discovered that open communication, empathy, and mutual support go a long in way in building a solid team and eliminating stress. Regular team meetings and clear delegation of tasks help each member to be on the same page and work towards a mutual goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so close to the end of our undergrad journey. We might as well make it fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
