2,435 PointsI dont feel like to ..
HI, i dont feel like to do anything from like yesterday. I dont know if thats because of CSS or what , but i feel like not going throw any tutorials and especialy quizez and objectives.
I dont feel like to read it or watch it unless its x2 but then its a lil too fast.
Does that means i had enough of this or what? should i play a game or something ? Or is it because of the way i sleep maybe? random hours from midnight to 3am every day and now i cant do anything? i feel lazy .
What should i do?
I Know HTML/CSS and WP in a good level maybe , but now i was doing CSS layout as i want to master CSS but i jsut cant get my head in that. Nor in the others.

Whenever I go through a new book or learn something new, I'll reward myself with a nice long bike ride, and then make sure to talk to others about what I have learned and apply it to jobs I am working on.
Cramming all of this information does nothing if you aren't using it or doing anything to truly commit it to memory. If you have any friends that you can teach, show them something new you learned. To truly become an expert you need to teach others because it requires you to truly understand why something is the way it is.

2,435 PointsWhat I did is i went into Ruby onRails basics and did console and i liked it lol even if that seem boring, i liked it and had motivation. Maybe im just not in the mood to do any CSS : p although i would like to improve my skill in it .

6,592 PointsThats great. Switch it up. Do a few of the ones you enjoy, then do a little in css. I struggled with the css as well.

25,806 PointsI also go through periods where I need a break. I haven't done much at all for the last 3 days. I think it's my body telling me to let my brain have a rest for a bit.

2,435 PointsI was learning WP and then i stepped out from it and learned it on my own again, small projects etc..
Now i havent done pure CSS in like a year 11 month really or 10 and and i feel i need to go throw CSS layout again. Im comfortable to do positioning etc.. i just want to brush up my CSS skill so i can like do from 0 to 100 like grid system or flex box, and do whatever i like, brush my CSS up so i can do anything pure like bootstrap.
I did it fro 1.5h years or if not two years i was learning and not practicing. And yesterday i got somebody to do websites , 3 websites. And i suppose to take break now? : p im doing it with bootstrap and the site is dead easy i just need more info from the guy and im not the best in design .
Apart form reading one book , i cant do really anything. Im 18 with parents and not good conditions for me to do anything.
