Dear Monks, I am pretty new to programming. In the past i spent my time trying to be a pro overnight but lately realized my initial approach to learning was wrong. I spent most of my time doing irrelevant things on computer because i found it had focusing on one thing which is practicing programming. Lately i spend the whole day laying on my bed trying to slow down my life and rediscover myself. In doing this i only use the computer for a short period of time which is usually in the evenings and i now visit less websites. when i notice i am no longer able to focus i logout and relax. Why i do this is because i have come to realize that if i want to be a skilled programmer it is something i have to commit to and let other things go. In doing this i find myself learning more though my progress is quite slow but im pleased with the pace at which i am going. These are still early days of my approach. I hope i am not doing anything wrong in my approach. I will love to know how others relax and spend there day at home or at work and what advice do you all have for me. Thanks in advance.
