“Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do” — Steve Jobs
So whenever you get tired of doing competitive programming , what you do in your free time ? What habits do you have which you think effects you positively ?

Upsolving habit
in free time (free means when you get tired of doing CP):
1) try help on programming blog/community
2) watch high rated programmer's solution to learn tricks and optimize code
3) if you are going to get a job in few months then try to learn some technology
4) read blog for learn new things and getting updated news of latest technology
5) plan your next few days what to do
Well, tbh when im tired of doing CP i don't code or read blogs at all. I do it all when i found enough motivation.
I am not that high rated but for me it is not using social media with short video content like Tiktok or Instagram reels. I think they reduce attention span.
Watch anime
YES YES YES
NO NO NO
WTF WTF WTF
dropped out of uni, started learning how to draw recently (wanna slowly move onto digital art), going to start learning how to compose synthwave/lofi music, learning the math/physics behind game engines on the side, got into philosophy recently (philosophy of mathematics/language/logic especially) and much more, but this is what I'm spending my time on the most atm.
Are you doing a job on the side??
Nope, I'm not earning atm. I dropped out so that I could use all my time to learn technical/creative skills which I'm interested in. I don't plan on earning by doing a job either. I've convinced my parents to support me for a couple of years till I figure out how I'm going to earn, it'll probably be by making useful software/games/music/animation or some other creative stuff, maybe everything combined.
Best of luck mate!
Thanks man, I might start a yt channel in a year or two talking about this stuff.

Doesn't it reduces energy and mental power for next 2 to 3 days ?
I think it depends on ur age I use to do it 10 times a day when I was 15
You are really very competitive. xD
Chilling out a bit by watching some funny clips/movies, doesn't reduce your IQ or attention. Sometimes it's necessary too to get out of the boring lives.
Yeah. You better need it too. Cuz you missed the joke.
Damn (⊙＿⊙')! Right, I need to chill a bit too :(
Hard to guess what you are trying to say, but i guess you watch cool videos to do coding ?
Tries to get a gf
tf
He means "generating function"...
Eat Nutella
Seeing standings for several times , when having positive delta ...
So true xD
Hey man, didn't notice you got to LGM! Congratulations!
I don't know.. this is only me or not, but when I solve any question with alot of efforts, I see the same solution many times.. haha
The same feeling I get after watching a horror movie..
lichess
Just curious, what's your rating?
2201 blitz (profile)
Read.
Waste time on Discord.
i'll just ignore the clause abt "positively" but i regularly fail contests as a habit :D.
I prefer to play chess in my CP break.
Mindless scrolling through Reddit.
Not highly rated, but I mostly see cartoons like Shinchan, tom and jerry, and Phineas and Ferb. And I do a lot of web development also when I am not doing competitive coding.
Just going for two goals:
1) Trying to reach here stable 1900 and upsolve problems from tried but unsolved (now ~70 from 2014 year);
2) Trying to reach at chess.com stable 1000 at 5min blitz.
I listen to music and solve maths puzzles.
Building small coding projects. I do this 80% of the time actually 20-10% goes to CP. Aligns more with my goals.
speedcubing
Home workouts. To increase my mental stability
Dota 2
Not asking stupid questions for sure.
But answering them
And here comes a self-obsessed red.
Not writing blogs but instead solving problems on various OJs
osu!
very recent habbit and surely at par in terms of addiction with cp.
Wasting Time In Discord And Upsolving The Problems :)
Looking at codeforces graphs of the coders I admire
struggle solving hard problems.
panic before system tests
Upvoting Monogon's comments.
this is a rule, not habit
I don't practice cp so I don't get tired of it.
Playing Chess, Listening Lo-Fi songs.
Play io games.
