Hey guys, I am currently doing cp. I find it quite difficult to manage both Codeforces and Codechef together. Moreover, I feel that the quality of Codechef contests altogether is not very good and Codeforces contests seem to be relatively better as far as logic building is concerned. In my CP journey so far, I have observed that through cc contests, I am not able to improve much in logic building. The problems asked in Codechef seem to be inclined more towards mathematical side of things, although I'm not saying that Codechef contests are really bad, they might be excellent for someone else, but I feel that managing Codechef and Codeforces together is a tough task. Currently, I would say that I am just above beginner level competitive programmer. So, my question for you all is that should I start focusing only on Codeforces platform as far as CP and problem solving skills are concerned or should I continue doing both CC and CF?

I joined the Codeforces community way back last year as a newbie but since then, I've been unable to do any kind of significant progress in the Codeforces contests. Unfortunately, I've been unable to develop logical intuition for almost all kind of problems in Codeforces. I'm only able to do the first A level problems and that also not always. Can anyone suggest any kind of roadmap or necessary tips which can help me enhance my quality as a decent problem solver in Codeforces? Also suggest how to improvise myself as far as logical thinking is concerned? Any tips and suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
