💡 Ideas to test yourself
- Write your styles using a pre-processor, such as Sass , Less or Stylus
- Train your eye for detail by getting your solution as close to the design as you can
- Try estimating the time it will take for you to build the project. Then see if the time taken matches up to your estimate. Project estimations are a skill that is often overlooked but is essential for professional developers
