I realize that I started cp year ago, my first contest was on 7/29/2023
then I became green after 2 month, then I became cyan after 3 month from green
it's been over half year since I stuck at cyan and I'm really scare if this trend continue
the roommate whom I introduce to CF in January already became blue..
I feel like I fell into this cycle
bad contest -> demotivated from low rating -> loss forcus/interest from problem solving due to demotivation -> bad contest and so on
I literally cannot practice *1500-*1700 problem confortablely even after solve 300 of them.
what should I do
You have like 3 contest in the last five months
try seeing if you progress over an int128_t time
You make this post monthly, I already posted on one of previous. Have you actually tried any of suggestions? Pick a different comment and follow that for a month until one works...
But of course you see no progress after no practice lately. You were seeing progress before but lost it.
of course I do, I wrote down all advice that I think useful on note.txt and see time to time and try to follow suggestions.
btw I separate practice account for security reason, I never stopped actually.
