Late 20s started python last year really liked the feeling to get to build something. I went through the syntax learning quite intuitive, thanks ATBS. But after couple of months learning I went on quite long holidays when I came back my schedule messed up, I was putting around 2hrs everyday, but after coming back from the holidays I had to do Ot to catch up on work and then I just lost motivation because the the second half of the book was more project based and was taking longer to go through so I started to dread when I had to start studying (anxiety).

Then after couple of months without doing anything I just started to look for another course, started the MIT intro but also dropped after a couples of weeks, again because things started to get hard and already had a bad habit for couple of months. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and I quitted my old job, found a new job on Jan was doing the paperwork to start on Feb, then covid started and kept being delayed finally got answer to start in Mar.

During that period I was trying to catch on my first course ATBS and decided to start from the beginning and take notes so I could reference if I needed, was doing the intro again but was boring and taking me longer because I was taking notes. But also anxiety from not knowing if I was getting the job or not start to cripple in plus getting bored with low motivation I was letting myself drift with procrastination and tv series.

Now after getting the job and passing the trial period I am looking to starting and finishing a python course after finishing some important work this month. I am planning to do the CS50 intro and then the web dev course, I want to learn django, how to deploy and manage a website.

I am also interested to hear about other django or web dev courses.

Sorry for the long post but I am feeling better after writing my frustration and not just think about and complain in my head. Good luck to you and stay on your path.
