Should I set a deadline for my React project?
Yes. Open-ended learning tends to never finish. A specific deadline forces you to ship, and shipping exposes the gaps that passive watching never reveals. Deadlines convert vague effort into completed projects.

More FAQs in How to Set Goals and Track Progress While Learning React
Set outcome-based goals rather than time-based ones. Instead of 'study React for two hours,' set a goal like 'build a working todo app with add, edit, and delete by Sunday.' Outcome goals are measurable and force real learning.
Track what you can build from scratch without a tutorial, not how many hours you watched. Keep an error journal of bugs and fixes, and do a weekly review asking what you can build now that you could not last week.
You will hit the same errors repeatedly. Writing down each error and its fix creates a personalized reference that makes you faster over time. It also turns frustration into a tangible record of progress.
