Like me. 16 here, and I already feel burned out. I used to code as a hobby when I was 13-15, but nowadays, I do nothing...
Sad. (Maybe I should blame myself for it, and not school, but it just feels like that's what made me unable to learn for anything other than a need for good grades... that and being naturally good at memorizing information for a short period of time)
- protomyth 13y agoI know the feeling. I lived for coding, but I had one HS teacher that made me absolutely want to stay away from his computer classes. Hobbies are important, keep them even if the them changes How many hours a night are you doing homework?
- asiekierka 13y agoFrom zero to two. I try to do as much as possible in school, on breaks and even go to school earlier in the morning so I do not lose a valuable amount of time by context switching back and forth. Hobbies... I just don't want to do them. Time feels scarce and I fear no matter what project I start, there might be a better idea in my mind (and I have a few) that would be better worth doing.
- protomyth 13y agoWrite your ideas down, keep a journal[1], but don't let it paralyze you from doing things. Doing fun side things will make those written ideas better and often will gel into something else. 1) I use an actual paper journal. I'm 43 and the idea behind all the stuff I've written finally became obvious this year (while I was on vacation and not thinking about it). Do wish I had started on the whole journal thing earlier.
