Do it or don't do it, it's completely up to you in the end.

Most people quit because there’s zero consequence for stopping. One bad day, easy exit.
What helped me was adding stakes. I started putting money on my goals with friends, if I follow through, I keep it, if I don’t, I lose it. Changes everything real fast.
I’m actually building something around this called PactBet. Would something like that help you stay locked in?

Try to take at least one small step forward each day, and let consistency do the work.

i would say, if you cant find the right answer and fill like giving up, then just view the answer via the solution book or AI and just solve similar questions on that particular question to gain your confidence

Microgoals. Celebrate small achivements, use it as motivation fuel

Fix that one thing down, you will learn from there. It takes time, it isn't something magically fast happening.

I’ve found a few ideas that work for me. 1. Trying to solve a problem preferably one I have it makes learning natural. 2. Put some type of financial investment into the learning, buy a book or schedule some type of certification exam. Don’t hyper focus on the thing that creates the financial investment just something to add weight to the learning.

I think this is above /r/learnprogramming's paygrade

Ive recently been trying to have AI help me, and have had pretty good results. I uploaded a ton of goals, a timeline, some behavioral considerations, and some other random but important to me factors. Then asked it to generate a structured but flexible path to get to the goals. I had it research everything it could find on schedules, adhd, psychology, life coaching, etc. had it do its own research outside of my parameters that it felt was important that I didnt mention.
For me its been super helpful. If i cant do something, an error occurs, anything goes wrong or needs to change. Updates everything on the fly. With the right wording and rules in your initial prompts. You can do a lot and learn a lot.

Drugs. You might need a doctor for adhd etc.

Breaking down big goals into smaller pieces really helps me when I get overwhelmed. Like instead of thinking "learn programming" I just focus on finishing one tutorial or solving one problem at a time
When something breaks I try to remember that debugging is basically half of programming anyway so getting stuck is just part of the process
