Pupil in 80 days — Day 32-47(Week 5,6)
By Norp, 8 months ago, In English

Hello codeforces!!!

These 2 weeks turned out to be very bad. I was suddenly so lazy that I didn't even want to go to CF at all. It seemed to me that I couldn’t do anything about it at all. But as one person advised me, the best thing to help with burnout is rest. These 2 weeks I did almost nothing in CP, except for 5 solved level 900 problems (shame) and participation in 2 competitions. By the way, about round 940 — I was SO CLOSE TO SOLUTION B, but my carelessness turned out to be a huge mistake. I initially thought that the array should only consist of positive numbers, but the next day I just noticed that the array could consist of zeros too.This failure depressed me even more, and I did nothing at all until today's contest. After finishing today's contest, I finally gathered the strength to write this blog. The most important thing in achieving a goal is discipline. Even if you feel destroyed, discipline will help you get back on your feet. From today I am doing everything possible to achieve my goal faster, but this time I hope not to fail due to laziness, because I have found a way to overcome it)

Future plans:

Be more focused in competitions, finish 100 problems at level 900 (I don’t care if they’re easy, a goal is a goal), continue thematic problem sets, get the rating back to 1100, move on and don’t give up

See you later!!!!!!!!!

UPD Today's contest was very good

You can try watching some programming videos (example) as a rest to see if it helps burnout (or makes it worse)
