If I get really stuck on a project, I'll go over and try to solve a Project Euler problem, hook up some components to an Arduino and build a simple display, or just do a couple hacker rank questions. The strategy here is to score a couple easy wins, give the difficult problem some time to rest in the brain. Then go tackle it a day or two later.
This strategy has gotten me out of many ruts!
Such a nice strategy!
Little wins could motivate us to tackle some more and move forward 😀
I followed the same path as you in the beginning. Started with Python and I struggled through a course and there was just no spark for me. I tried a basic HTML and CSS course and I was instantly hooked.
Hi,
This is so much about me! Thank you for your post! I am on my self thought path right now and I'm learning .net and web dev. Despite all the frustrations at times, I am continuing in my learning because I like to code!
Thank you for reading! ☺
.NET is something that I would love to learn one day 😀
How do you find it so far?
Good to hear that you continue despite the frustrations.
Take some tiny breaks and keep moving forward 💪😃
Hi, thank you so much for this! I’m currently trying to learn web development and I’m between the self taught route or a bootcamp, but the tips you’ve mentioned address what I’ve been struggling with in the self taught route. Might stick with the self taught route instead. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for reading!
I'm super happy that you find it useful! 😄
And good luck with your journey 💪

I'm learning Python now, 100daysofCode seems great!
Go try 100DaysofCode and build small habits of learning! 😄
Thank you for writing this, these tips are very useful. I really needed the "Be kind to yourself" one 😌
Thank you for reading and I'm glad that you find them useful, Maru 😀
That part, I often remind myself too 😄
Thank you for reading, Jeff!
I'm happy if it helps! 😊
Wishing you a nice journey learning Rust!
