⚙ Tools for Tracking

Here is my Notion Template: https://www.notion.so/Coding-Problem-d8ad5d8e763345ca99ad7ab3af9ec2ff

A word on this template though, this is a bit more complicated than what I mentioned in the video. If you build a list of coding problems using this template, as you work on the problems and give yourself a time and a score, it will calculate a SR_Score value, and if you sort the list in descending order based on the property, it will automatically bubble up your worst problems on the top. Hope this makes sense.

Do NOT edit SR_Score, C_Date, C_Solution and C_Time -- those are filled out manually based on other values you update.

Also, here is the entire workspace with 200+ carefully picked questions and all the various boards: https://www.notion.so/de7d8005cd3749b2a1c5f995b4a92bba?v=00b004e1ba144d84a7f207cd30d2fa0d
