You are already so close to being a CM.

    Your profile is so amazing. 182 problems in a month. How much time do you spend on a question before taking a hint or seeing the solution?

      For ratings <=1500, I used to spend around 45 minutes.
      For ratings >=1600, I spend around 2 hours.

        Your ability to consistently practice solving problems every single day is quite amazing. How do you manage to stay motivated like this? I find it pretty difficult to say consistent myself.

The only thing you should do is solve more 1900+ problems. Like you have solved 19 of them or something like that. If after solving 50 or 70 1900+ problems and still not being CM, then you need to change something. But before, just go and solve more hard problems.

    I have solved 90+ 1900+ problems, but I am still struggling to make it to CM; I think I am taking too much time to implement as I overthink optimizing the implementation.

      There is no secret pill, bro. Just solve the problems that are difficult for you to solve. 1900 is too easy for you if you solved 90+. Solve 2200 and realize that you will have to learn so many new things still.

      You have to suffer to see progress.

      Another list of activities commonly seen on blogs with advices:

      • Solve more atcoder.
      • Practice virtual contests.
      • Improve your mental health — exercise, meditation, etc.

      P.S. I'm also an expert, so you have every right to ignore my "low-skill" opinion, but I'm just tired of the "give me advice".

        That's some good advice; thanks, mate. I guess going heads down is the only way forward!
