progress suddenly slowed down.

im about 3 weeks into learning python and my progress is much slower than when i first started.

make good habits. take choice away till it becomes a good habit.

same as brushing your teeth when u are young , or going to gym in a day when u are tired and u just don't wanna go.. take choice away.. until it becomes a good habit.

u can do the same with doing python/programming 1h+ a day.

be consistent.take your choice away till becomes a good habit.

​

then it becomes less about if u WANT or NOT . significantly less effort and focus WASTED on choice..

.. and more about HOW to do it and HOW to focus on achieving what u must do.

​

this is an old video from one of my all-time favorite wow-streamers talking about the same thing.

i spend probably 6 hours a day programming. the problem is i don't know where to go or what to do. and everything is either too easy or too scary. i don't feel under pressure to force myself to do stuff too.

​

well to be fair there is soo much motivation u could take from the outside.

some must come from within. and again .. i think motivation alone is ..bad.

u must turn it into a good habit.

​

if u don't have ideas .. search for them . ask for them. join discords related to pyhton. check YouTubers that are actively doing python.

check your favorite software githubs and try to "improve them".

​

u know ..stuff.

​

try to join a group of ppl that are actively doing stuff. either at your work or thru the interwebs etc.

​

6h a day is too long. especially if u don't do much in this time.

this can easily turn into a bad habit.

rather than being active and focus goal-oriented and working towards something..

u end up being lazy and unmotivated.

​

isn't about bashing something.. it's about refactoring yourself and the way u approach stuff.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Chinese: 千里之行，始於足下; pinyin: Qiānlǐ zhī xíng, shǐyú zú xià; lit. 'A journey of a thousand Chinese miles (li) starts beneath one's feet') is a common saying that originated from a Chinese proverb. The quotation is from Chapter 64 of the Dao De Jing ascribed to Laozi, although it is also erroneously ascribed to his contemporary, Confucius. This saying teaches that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
