How to maintain motivation while doing CP?

Revision en1, by Zhang_Xina04, 2026-01-23 20:15:42

I'm finding it very hard to practice CP. I can't up-solve myself! I am stuck with solving only 2 questions per contest or sometimes none. And even if I do solve any question, it takes me ages to figure logic. I enjoyed CP but my growth seems stagnant.

I tried solving questions of same difficulty levels.

But after seeing others solve same question in 1 minute while it took me 15 minutes, I feel like I'm dumb. Same for AtCoders. I'm somewhat okayish in CodeChef but nothing spectacular. I'm loosing my motivation for CP.

I just wanna improve. I want to develop that instinct where you realise in a sec what the question is about.

I don't know if anyone will comment on this because it's my first blog hehe, but thank you if you do. I would be grateful for you.
