Automating the Removal of LinkedIn Connections

So on changing my career ambitions from the banking industry to computer software, I decided to update my LinkedIn profile after about 2 years since the switch. I had so many connections, close to 800, that are not relevant to my new ambitions at all. I had to remove them. I removed about 5 of them manually and the lazy bit of me was already complaining. So I set back and wrote a script to help me remove them. function removeConnection() { setInterval(function() { // click ellipsis document.querySelector('[data-control-name="ellipsis"]').click(); // click delete button setTimeout(function() { document.querySelector('li[class*="delete"] button').click(); // click the confirm button setTimeout(function() { document.querySelector('[data-control-name="confirm_removed"]').click(); }, 100); }, 100); }, 250); } removeConnection(); I open LinkedIn, hit `My Network` and then `

I always tell myself that every morning when I wake up and that's what keeps me going for the rest of the day. You must continue to get inspiration and motivation. Seek a mentor and a role model; someone more experienced than you are in your area of interest and life in general to whom you can look up to and say, "I want to be something close to that". That creates a vision in your mind that is very much required before any goal can be achieved. In the same breath, you have to be creative, and see yourself uniquely in the future. Just be yourself, be original and pursue your goals. Sometimes you may go off the track along the way and do things that do not really concern your objectives in life: but that doesn't mean that you are losing focus. Just keep your focus and continue to have a relentless desire for daily improvement.
