Its been really helpful and relieved so much anxiety about finding work and what the journey of that looks like for a junior data analyst trying to break into the field.

I believe a focus on the planning phase should come after getting familiar with the technical parts, as I feel like that is context you are missing to fully understand how to plan a data project.
