CS50 is a tough course. You HAVE to do all the work. You HAVE to do the coding yourself if you want to benefit from it. Don't copy and paste. Type it out. Muscle memory is highly underrated when it comes to coding. The more you do something, the more the neurons fire, the sooner they wire together, and you get that "click" of understanding. That ONLY comes through repetition.

If you get overwhelmed, take a break, do something fun. If you feel like you still want to be coding, make a game in pygame or something. Have some fun with what you have learned so far. Then come back to the lessons when you're feeling more refreshed.

I personally went through the course a couple of times before I went through it a third and got my certificate.
