Struggling to Motivate Yourself to Spend More Time on CP?
By Updown, history, 11 months ago, In English

For anyone struggling with motivation with competitive programming, this video is for you. It is my most researched video yet. I studied the neuroscience behind what is going on when you procrastinate USACO specifically. While this video is made from USACO specifically since that is where I have the most experience, it generalizes nicely to most of cp.

There are a couple of citations from a doctor who studies this, but it is easy to understand. We also have clear steps to break the procrastination habits cycle. I hope you find this training useful!!

    Thanks for the feedback. Do you want more videos discussing problem solving techniques or more videos solving problems?

Very interesting. This video helped me better understand excuses the brain comes up with, the work of subconsciousness and what to do about it. It's a serious problem for lots of people, and not only in CP..

I guess the downvotes come from highly motivated people. Which is, ironically, positive :D

    I'm glad you liked the video! Those strategies helped me out so I hoped they would help others as well.

    It would be nice if the people who downvoted would leave a comment as to why so that I can improve my videos, but I'm honestly just happy knowing the video helped a few people out.
