How to be motivated in programming?

Question

I thought about this question after I just stop doing coding from my daily basis

why is this happening to me?

I want to be a programmer as like everybody on SoloLearn.

Answer 1

Be yourself dont worry about other programmers. Just focus on coding one day at a time. solve one or two challenges and stop.

Remember you can't learn it all in one day everyone was a beginner at one point.

Read some code books and code along learn new techniques and apply them to your practice.

Get involved with the community and keep focused.

Answer 2

Can you believe this is the hardest question I have come across on this board?! I don't even know how to go about it...

How do I for example get motivated? Don't need to! I can't go a day without coding. If I do, I feel something is not right. I miss it, a lot. Feel free to call it an addiction by the way.

So how can you get motivated? I guess you need to wonder why you are interested in programming to start with. Is it passion? Is it love for coding? If there isn't that drive and love for the thing, self-learning this stuff won't happen.

Don’t do it too long. If you spend a long time on anything you will get tired of it.

Secondly, taking days of the week as a break can really help. So maybe leave Monday and Wednesday free of coding?(mondays are always stressful even for me and I’m only 14) hope this helps you.

Challenge your self by making a plane and give your self a gift every time you accomplish this plan.
Then increase the level of challenge every time a little bit.
in this way you will gain the spirit of the fighter and you get off this feeling.

For example:
start with a plan to take a badge within a day.
then to get 1000xp
then to be the first in your country for day, then to week, etc...
