Python Monk Mode – Day 1

This repo is my starting point for getting serious about Python and tech.

It contains two things:

• Small practice scripts to learn core Python concepts.
• A simple terminal based habit tracker that follows ideas from Atomic Habits.

I am using this project both to learn the language and to build a self development tool I can run every morning.

Files

Learning scripts

Each of these focuses on one concept.

• 01_variables.py
  Basic variables, types, and printing values.

• 02_conditionals.py
  If, elif, else, and simple decision logic.

• 03_loops.py
  For loops, while loops, and iterating over data.

• 04_functions.py
  Writing reusable functions, parameters, and return values.

• 05_collections.py
  Lists, tuples, and dictionaries, plus simple iteration over them.

• 06_errors.py
  Basic error handling with try, except, else, and finally.

Habit tracker

• habit_tracker.py
  A small command line habit tracker, inspired by Atomic Habits and identity based change.

  Current features:

  • Predefined daily habits like workout, code, and read
  • Mark habits as done for the day
  • Simple streak and completion tracking
  • Menu driven interface that runs in the terminal

I plan to expand this into a more complete self development tool for myself.
