Getting fatigued when learning coding
Getting fatigued when learning coding
I really love computer science, coding and mostly all the amazing things you can do with this knowledge, i feel i finally landed in my world.
I'm doing a Javascript course now and while it is really engaging to learn about how a language like that works and how to build with it, i'm getting quite tired and frustrated..
Now, i'd say i am quite meticulous when studying and i use some studying techniques to really integrate what i'm learning, but that means that 1h or even less lesson can take me all the time i have to study in a day to be understood, noted down and then repeated over the following days..
There are a lot of quite complicated concepts to understand and memorize, and, as i'm also working, sometimes it gets quite tiring.
I feel like there's this huge amount of never ending work and concepts before i can actually start do something cool with the knowledge i have, and i really want to start doing something cool.
I re-started to study after many years so i'd say it's also because of that if i'm not really used to it and i can't process much informations at the time.
How can you get better into gaining knowledge? how can you prevent getting fatigued?
You're viewing a single thread.
Here's the thing:
Fatigue is normal, but will get worse over time if you don't address it.
First, recognize that you might be putting too much on yourself. If you studied / programmed 10 minutes a day, every day, you would achieve more than someone who studied 2 hard hours every weekend. So consider whether you'd be fine doing a half an hour or less on some days if you don't have the energy.
Also as others have pointed out, memorizing everything isn't that useful, practicing is. Build something fun!
