Put all lessons into action by designing your own 2–3 week preparation schedule.
You've gone through the lessons from daily routines, CV prep, technical refreshers, to practicing stories and coding.
Now it's time to stop planning and actually put it all together into a calendar you'll follow.
This isn't about building the “perfect” plan. It's about creating something concrete you can stick to for the next 3-4 weeks, then adjust after reviewing your progress. Think of it as your personal mini-course.
The goal is progress, not perfection. Your schedule is a tool to guide you, not a prison to trap you.
As a solution architect focused on high-level frontend architecture and systems design, here's exactly what I would learn over 3 weeks. This isn't theoretical, it's my actual learning plan based on gaps I've identified in my current knowledge.
This schedule balances technical depth with practical application, reflecting my current role and learning priorities. Every session has specific resources and clear learning objectives.
Below you'll find an interactive calendar component showing this exact 3-week schedule in action. You can see how each learning session is organized with specific resources and time allocations:
I want to refresh my visual understanding of the event loop. I especially want to understand how the call stack, callback queue, and microtask queue interact visually.
Learning Resources:
I've used closures only a couple of times in my career, and those were suggestions from other team members. I want to build confidence in this feature I've underutilized.
Learning Resources:
I know most core CSS concepts but struggle with grid since I started using it directly with Tailwind. I need to learn the proper syntax instead of relying on shortcuts.
Learning Resources:
For the sake of old times, I want to refresh some patterns I could use in vanilla JS coding. I'll write actual code based on the patterns, not just read them.
Learning Resources:
Focus on leadership principles and management techniques for technical teams.
Learning Resources:
Continuing my design patterns journey with the Mediator pattern and exploring a comprehensive guide. I want to split this into multiple days to actually write code, not just read.
Learning Resources:
I have enough performance experience, but this topic feels rusty when I'm not doing it hands-on. I need to understand the basics before I can understand Next.js patterns.
Learning Resources:
Continuing my performance refresh with prefetching and critical path understanding. I'll focus on reading to rebuild my foundation.
Learning Resources:
I'm already using MCP servers for apps like Figma, shadcn components, and other tools, but I have to admit I don't understand them in detail. I just have a general idea.
Learning Resources:
Continue leadership development with focus on team dynamics and technical decision making.
Learning Resources:
I won't focus too much on practical challenges since this VJA module was already a practical assignment. But I'll take one session to solve an easy LeetCode problem, just for fun.
Learning Resources:
This has nothing to do with front-end interviews directly, but it's about learning and how AI can help us in the learning process. I'll use it as general culture learning.
Learning Resources:
Second session on AI-assisted learning. I want to understand how to leverage AI tools for continuous learning and personal development.
Learning Resources:
Final leadership session focusing on advanced management concepts and team leadership strategies.
Learning Resources:
Review what I learned, assess my progress, and plan the next 3-4 week learning cycle based on gaps I've identified during this cycle.
This is where theory turns into habit. By following your calendar, you're not just preparing for interviews, you're building a sustainable rhythm of learning that will keep sharpening your skills long after this roadmap ends.
P.S. When doing my schedule I'm using the Calendar from Microsoft Teams. I keep all my tasks and events there.
Over-plan months ahead — focus on 3-4 week cycles at a time
Follow your calendar consistently, even when you're busy
