The complete breakdown of what
the CSS Grid entails
By beaking things down like
this, you get to see how
achievable mastery is.
The secret is in small daily wins... small!!!
20hrs
20 hours of deliberate
practice is all you
"really” need
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE
FUNDAMENTALS OF THE
CSS GRID LAYOUT.
I WILL SHARE HELPFUL LINKS BELOW
A SMALL, DEDICATED TIME
TO PRACTICE DAILY CAN
GO A LONG WAY.
45MINS DAILY FOR 27DAYS
IS APROX. 20HRS
OKAY YOU GOTTA BUILD STUFF.
A GOOD NUMBER OF STUFF TO
CEMENT YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Again, the answer is in the small things.
Don’t build an MVP, or any Big Project for that matter
YEAH, SMALL THINGS.
THAT’S WHAT YOU
GOTTA BUILD
Build A Lot Of Throw-away Layouts First.
Okay...
1. You’ll eventually build that grand
layout. Okay?
2. It is more efficient to build small
layouts first. Especially with radically
new ideas like the CSS Grid

Don’t build the entire Youtube layout.
Only build the layout above.
The video placholder on the left,
and the list of videos on the right.
()
Similar to the first project,
build the little Medium homepage above
The layout above is well suited
to the CSS Grid layout. Have fun!

How would you go about building this
one? One column, or multiple columns?
See if you can use Flexbox & CSS Grid
on this one.
()
Simple, huh? Try your hands
on this one!
Let’s get you a plan :)
Your plan doesn’t have to be for 27 days.
If you have more free time,
you can do 2 days’ work in a day.
1 day equals 45minutes of practice
X X X X X X
X X
BE ACCOUNTABLE TO YOURSELF.
Make a calendar, and tick off each day you
devote time to practice.
When you tick off all days,you’d have
achieved your goal.
... that won’t bore you
