I think the title of your video is literally the problem for most people. How many people are actually willing to commit themselves fully to something for 537 days straight? Probably not that many because, for some reason, everyone thinks success or being good at something just happens or comes overnight for some reason. Discipline and focus are single handedly the most important things if you want to become successful. Yes you have to work hard as well, but if you just focus when you're supposed to focus and not get distracted by all sorts of nonsense in general (partying, etc.) you'll be able to do what you want and still have time for other things. Maybe not as much, but still. Be very selective about what you spend your time on. Great video btw.
I would like to speak on behalf of neurodivergent people, discipline and focus is a lot harder thank you think. Most people quit at the dip, not necessarily because they get bored or distracted from the thing they are doing, but it becomes impossible to commit more discipline and focus to their task due to their hyperfocus shifting to something else. I speak from experience when I say that hyperfocus is both a blessing and a curse. While it can make you work on something very effectively, it's very selective and you can't really control it on your own. Neurodiversity and its associated disorders, like OCD, ADHD, autism and so on, can make learning either extremely easy or nigh impossible. It's not just a matter of "stay disciplined LMAO", it's like telling a person without legs to just "run". Worst part of all this, psychological medicine still doesn't fully cover and treat the whole spectrum of neurodiversity because mental health has only recently started getting more attention, about 6 years ago it was very difficult for someone to get a proper diagnosis and help. I am learning web-development myself and I can tell you now that the method of "time-blocking" is extremely difficult for me and believe me I tried to adhere to this method for 2 weeks until it started breaking down on its own. It's a great video don't get me wrong, I agree with most of the things said here, especially the task organising, that is very effective and allows for a lot of flexibility and I know that everything mentioned here is to be taken with a grain of salt. But your comment disregards people of neurodivergence who struggle with learning because their brain is just not wired in a "typical" way and I wish I could say "Oh we just think that to have an excuse", but the matter of fact is that even if I tell myself I will sit down and do coding for 2 hours now, my brain LITERALLY does everything in its power subconsciously to make me defocused. I wish I could explain this feeling better but it is annoying and while I know it, I can't willingly stop it.
This video is like a godsend because I've been learning to code for almost a year now but I struggle so much with being consistent with my coding hours in my schedule. I would do exactly what you did and make a strict schedule but it was so hard to replicate it everyday. Hearing from your honest experiences and knowing that you also struggled to be productive makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only one struggling plus the end of the video was so extremely helpful because now I know that I should aim to fit 2-3 coding hours everyday and to have a more flexible schedule centered around the most important tasks as you mentioned - This really makes more sense to me now and I just really needed to hear this especially from you 😇
Bro I just quit my job as a laborer stacking wood and unloading trains i feel like your videos called out to me. Thank you for spending your time to help people out your'e a goat
I like the title, see what you did there with an abstract, yet exact number to get as many people intrigued as possible. Better than saying something like 18 months for instance
I try everyday but idk for last 2 yrs even with every social media app uninstalled I am still not able to consistently do it, like it starts good then for few weeks I go astray
After graduating with CSE background now I found myself having no programming skills which can land me a job. so now I started learning ios development. it has been a couple of months only but really struggling to just sit and learn. Anxiety is through the roof. And I am feeling like I would never be able to be a programmer. Just out of my league.
Great video and I do agree ! But I would love to seek advice from your point of view as someone who want to achieve more. I'm currently Year 2 semester 1 as a full-time software engineering student. But I'm eager to learn, do you think its manageable to work in the tech industry as a FT student or should I wait for semester break and go for an internship. Sure, I can learn a lot by myself, but I think the true process begin on the work field! A warrior is born on the battlefield not in the training-camp.
The short answer? Do the work instead of doing something else. It's a simple decision. If you can't make that decision, you don't actually want it, nor do you deserve it- and as a result, you won't achieve it. Cut the excuses, cut the slack, cut the bullshit and DO. THE. WORK. Elaboration: (If you "can't" you either lack proper framing as to why it's important enough for you to prioritize, are trying to fit in/appease the crowd and don't actually desire said thing, or- you're delusional and naive and think you're so special and significant that success is just something the universe owes you. All of which will throttle your ability to put in the required effort to actually get to said endpoint.) To move forward, all one must do is take a step. Your refusal just limits YOU to where you currently are; no matter your "condition", affluence or upbringing- there's always someone who has it worse, makes less excuses for themselves AND is working harder than you. No one else gives a single fuck if you achieve your goals nor is it up to them to. No amount of pleading or excuse making is going to do anything to benefit your situation or propel you any further. If you truly desire something you'll do the work; if you "can't"- quit lying to yourself about what you claim to want. It's literally not hard to do something for 537 days straight- the modern human is just feeble. Get out of your own way. Also, it's not about motivation. Motivation is what you need in order to do something you don't want to do. If you need motivation, find a better goal.
First off just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your channel! Just wanted to ask you and everyone else : How do you guys deal with getting stuck? I'm taking Cs50 and I'm 2 months into learning to code. I find myself getting stuck for an hour running through options of a code that would work which turns my brain to mush. Would you consider that part of the "block"?
hi guys, how are you? I'm a Brazilian who is studying programming, well, as you know, Brazil is a third world country and here things are a little expensive, unfortunately the notebook I have has a defective screen and battery, the repair would take around of 700 reais, (130 dollars), I wanted to know if anyone can help me in any way to be able to pursue my dream, because I have knee injuries that prevent me from working, please contact me any dollar would help

Excellent comment, such well said!!
@@InternetMadeCoder Simple, but hard! We ALL know the 'what'; it's the 'how' where most of us struggle! 'Just focus and dont become distracted'! LOL

your analogy of the dip pushed me to try and get past it. thanks for your videos man they are very informational

Great Video. I am in 9 right now but I am learning to code early and get a job.
Great video, I am now 5 days into my journey. wish me luck.
And yet, we have no problem bingeing watching or gaming. Thanks for the tips.

I force my self to code what theirs no motivation but when I'm doing it it start to become self motivated
I really need this now

"i recommend learning one thing at a time, then after you get good at it... learn like. 5 things at one time" easy

hi, i'm your new subscriber thank you for your video, i will try it by doing it
Thank you for sharing great ideas
Thanks for watching!
do you implement data structure and algorithm in your daily coding work/projects?
No
@@InternetMadeCoder so why we should learn about it?
Because companies test them in interviews and because it builds understanding & problemsolving skills. But mainly the first reason.
Needed this--
Thanks man for sharing brilliant guides, I trying to accomplish C# with DSA but your guides do really help Me
Glad you like them!
👍👍👍
How many hours someone should code everyday?
watch the video?
Hi, can you stop making so many relatable content?
Thank you.
You talk too fast in your videos, could you please speak slowly?
slow down the video
I love Elon too
