How to keep yourself motivated and consistent while learning to code

[@ohlakisses]

Thanks for keeping it real! I hear people say " I hustled until I made it." but lack to share the realities of the struggle and lack of motivation. It's totally normal so thanks for normalizing this. I am gearing up for a bootcamp and though I try to do something towards my goal every day, some days I'm burnt out and don't even want to look at it but THAT'S OKAY! As long as you get back to your goal even after rest, you can and will still make it. Like you said, we are all on our own journey and we don't know how others got to where they are. Thanks again for this!

Sis this is awesome! I found your channel when I typed in “intro how to code” I recently went back to school for software engineering and it’s tough so I’m learning how to stay motivated and disciplined

I just started my bootcamp week 1 is almost complete! I wish I could just stay up all night and practice thats my plan for the entire weekend.

[@ctrlaltdenise8]

I did that my first two weeks and was completely brain dead going into week 3. Resting is important as well!

@@ctrlaltdenise8 im seeing that after tonight we worked on a group project for 6 hours. One guy had it in him to keep going he has prior experience. But I had to speak up and let him know we have to pick up tomorrow I’m drained.

I’m lucky my company gives us Friday to choose what we want to do. I just say I’ll do some codecademy /Udemy courses and that gives me a free weekend to relax. I agree with you though just set small goals and those small goals add up over the year. Try doing too much and you will probably just do nothing at all 😂

Exactly
