CISSP: Things I Found While Avoiding Studying

While studying, I often find myself unable to focus on one thing and getting distracted. Because of this, I have decided to put everything here, hoping it might prove useful for me in the future.

I have been saving a lot of bookmarks. While it feels like a distraction at times, reading these posts actually makes me feel good, and I am learning some new facts and ideas here and there. It is helping me get into the zone, understand what to expect, and build up my confidence that I will make it.

Most of these posts are from Reddit, though I have also checked out a lot of blogs on Medium. I am also taking a Udemy course from Andrew Ramdayal, which I am sure is one of the best ones out there, and I feel confident I can pick up the rest as I go.

Ultimately, I believe in my process. This is all part of my learning journey, even if I do get distracted easily.

Here are the resources I have gathered. Please expect this list to be updated every now and then. Hopefully, these 'distractions' of mine will help others as well.
