Try to get yourself into tech company that is working on interesting, future-oriented problems. Clean energy, robotics, medicine, biotech, self-driving cars, etc. These organizations always need a ton of administrative and non-technical staff.
On a daily basis, I think starting small and incrementally improving is very underrated. It’s easy to look at a large ill-defined problem, feel intimidated, and not make any progress whatsoever. You have to break things down into smaller pieces.
As an example: If your goal is to run a 5K, start by running 100 meters on day 1. That’s it. This will take a minute or two, at maximum. Add 100 meters every day...and in about a month and a half, you’ll be there. That’s not a long time.
Whatever your professional or personal goals are, try and think about them from a similar perspective. It might be applying to one job (+1 everyday) or spending 5 minutes learning how to code (+5 minutes everyday.)
If you share more about your skills or interests, I can try to offer more targeted advice.
