Not to sound rude, but that sounds like a child complaining in a boring class.
> Do you guys have any advice on how to stay motivated?
Treat it like a job. Show up on time and do the work regardless of if want to or not. Set a time you will accomplish your micro goals you've cut up from your macro goals. Have a small treat when you do so. Be patient with yourself.
- kleer001 5y ago> like a child complaining in a boring class Trouble connecting content being learned and the high level goal of the class is part and parcel of the learning experience. To say "I don't know" is the fundamental idiom of the student. Yes, that happens. All the time. To everyone who wants to learn. But for that lack of understanding to be the cause of losing momentum is a preventable tragedy. Especially as a self learner and especially in such a well documented subject with such a friendly community. It betrays a poor attitude of entitlement. That's where I think the problem lies, not in the material it's self. Why? Because it's trivial to do a search on "How does XYZ pertain to the subject of ABC?"
