Hello Codeforces,
I have an issue when solving problems. If I don't come up with a solution idea within 15 to 30 minutes, I quickly lose interest and don't try to continue or brainstorm at all, and I end up closing the problem. The problem is that my brain is unable to learn new ideas. I mean, even when I try to read the editorial for the solution and find the idea new, I tend to ignore the problem and don't solve it.
This issue started to appear when I began tackling problems with ratings of 1600 and 1500.
Any tips or advice?
This means you aren't meant to code. What's the point of doing something you can't persevere through?
This is an extremely cruel and narrow-minded perspective, especially coming from a person higher rated than you by a massive 2 rating. If you wish to code, go for it! Perhaps you can decrease the difficulty of your practice, and build up to a certain level. Do note — improving isn't supposed to be easy. If you can't meet your supposed expectations, there is no shame in solving easier problems if the harder ones are not productive.
have you ever diagnosed ADHD? because I have the same issue
