Hey there. I have been doing competitive programming for about a year now but still can't see much improvements in myself. I have been following all the practice instructions (solving problems of +200 your rating, upsolving etc etc). I really want to improve at CP. I can't understand what I am doing wrong. Some Insights would be helpful. Thanks

Hello everyone :). Since many days i have lost the zest of practicing cp. I mean i still enjoy it , but i cannot do 4 to 5 problems everyday as i used to before. It's not like i cannot solve them , i just feel like i don't want to. Does this happen with everyone or just me?. If not , can anyone suggest me something to overcome it. Thanks ^-^.

Can someone tell me how can one develop intuitions for such problems. I know it requires a lot of practice but is there anything else which I can do besides practice which can help me solve these kind of problems.

Thanks.
