Hello /k!

I guess this topic is better geared towards the prev gen boomers/genX who admittedly went through a different type of Hell.

So after work, i reach home frustrated and unmotivated as always but I have taken steps to try and learn some programming...want to try my hand in IT by the mid of next year.

Issue is..i come home tired like setoberi, sure I can force myself to study (been doing that), but not very effective. What are your post-work trying to study tips?

Serious answers to help focus.

Thanks /k!

just sleep early, wake up at 3am or 4am study.. conlanfirm effective

Stop browsing /k becos time easily flies if u browsing here non stop.

Sleep early la

1) Use music as motivation / to improve your mood to study?
2) Do something that makes you happy first before studying.
3) Are you actually interested/passionate about programming, or is it just follow the crowd?

Tired due to lack of sleep or lack of exercise?

give me ur address and i will burn your house if you dont study after coming back from work

build up your stamina first, do exercise, sleep early, slowly you can focus

study in morning

normally after work already tired, true story

sleep at 10pm ka?

how early..i currently sleep at 1am

1 and 2, tak jalan. Still by the time i start, the mental fatigue is already showing.

3. Nope at this rate none of my passions are going to pay the bills.

Yeah..my mental state totally barai that time. Now much better due to exercise+cutting off certain people...at least it looks that way

What kind of work so tiring?

Since you have time to /k, then use the time between work to learn your interest. This way you keep being motivated on both work and hobby by keep switching your mind between subject.

I learn VBA to ease my work during office time and able to get more free time by reducing about probably 80% my work load. Now I can do also other hobby working on Adruino project. Weekend I can do other things like woodwork too

I am not sure..currently 2x a week. Nothing extreme though.

the friend i need. Mana u punya area?

hmm..exercise abit2 daily..then same thing study abit2 also?

oh wai

Well i prepare a fkton of economic/business reports that i need to spend hours reading. When i come to /k, that usually means that I sudah giveup...and need time to breathe lmao.

TBH, i would do that..but office computer sudah block alot of things..Cannot install a compiler here..else can jalan. But without compiler can jalan x? unless i use those from w3school. But that is not the same as the actualy working environment i suppose right?

dedicate your weekends for studying

when you are tired, don't learn things that requires your brain power. you will find it hard to focus and then waste more time, especially in programming. I always tell ppl never code when you are tired, it just get messy and making bad solution.

u should consult ikankering
he knew everything.

Do u exercise?? U need to do some workout, or at least walking in the park, drink lots of water n have enough sleep, enough sun also. Else u wont feel good

macam ktard Jasonist cakap..sleep earlier wake up earlier few hours will feel much fresher and take in stuff easier

all the best TS

I just quit my job & took a career break + study full-time instead.. lel
tried studying while working. after work, just too tired mentally/physically to study.
