I really love computer science, coding and mostly all the amazing things you can do with this knowledge, i feel i finally landed in my world.
I’m doing a Javascript course now and while it is really engaging to learn about how a language like that works and how to build with it, i’m getting quite tired and frustrated…
Now, i’d say i am quite meticulous when studying and i use some studying techniques to really integrate what i’m learning, but that means that 1h or even less lesson can take me all the time i have to study in a day to be understood, noted down and then repeated over the following days…
There are a lot of quite complicated concepts to understand and memorize, and, as i’m also working, sometimes it gets quite tiring.
I feel like there’s this huge amount of never ending work and concepts before i can actually start do something cool with the knowledge i have, and i really want to start doing something cool.
I re-started to study after many years so i’d say it’s also because of that if i’m not really used to it and i can’t process much informations at the time.
How can you get better into gaining knowledge? how can you prevent getting fatigued?
Even further, I think it’s important to keep in mind that you learn something every day in the programming field. There’s constantly new languages and new features. Learning these shouldn’t be a difficult undertaking that takes all day or you’ll burn out so fast. Your learning needs to be agile so you can learn while continuing to work. Your boss won’t allow you to take a week off to learn a library, sometimes you’ve just got to start slapping it in there and learn by doing.
Just start building! You’ve got to build and roll with the punches
