How often to learn

I am sort of in the same boat, but I do try to do 2 hours every day or every other day. It's not easy and I think if you don't feel up to it, it's very hard to learn because your mind keeps wandering off. Must say though that even if I don't sit down for four days straight, my inner voice usually nags me, so I do end up learning eventually. It will be cliche, but every little bit helps - it's a progress albeit slow. And if you have only done like 20 mins. it's still a reason to be proud, because you have spent 20 minutes to try and build a better future for yourself and not wasted them on something meaningles (but nice) like watching tv or playing games etc. That's just me though and for every one of us there is different motivation. (I'll confess - I did stop for 10 - 11 months, when I was struggling with first project, but I'm glad I've come back to it, because the teacher has improved the course since and it's a bit clearer now (I think all teachers do that).

Then you are doing better than me(I didn't do anything for four days straight as I said)! You'll get there! I do it before the bed (because no way you are getting me up at the crack of dawn for anything short of life or death situations) and for some weird reason my brain works better at the end of my long working days (I work 7 days a week). As I said you know, how and when your brain works better. Every little bit is step closer to finish (or every video in this case).

Wow, brilliant! I'm envious as I don't have any previous knowledge of computing and programming, so I don't even have a clue 98% of the time, what people are discussing. You are doing great! Just don't give up!

Thanks for this, and yeah just need to stop being a lazy person, this has always been my life style. But I guess don't need motivation just need to sit down and put the work in. I will read this imposter syndrome. What did you think of it ?
