Holidays, Hard Topics, and a Hint of Sunrise
After a long holiday, I reflect on cycling, struggling with DSA, Scott Young’s advice, and how too much screen time is breaking my focus.

Hello there! I am back after quiet a few days. I was enjoying my holidays .I still have a few days left. It is fun living in your house for so long after so long .There’s something peaceful about being in familiar spaces again. You start noticing small things — the way the light hits your old desk, or how your room still smells the same
I am thinking of changing the website layout as it has been over 7 months since the launch of this website. Look at the background image of this post isn't it surreal? I clicked it a few days ago when I went cycling early in the morning.
I don't have much to do while I am here. Just attend DSA classes in the evening Summer internship course classes at 9 am that's it. However I Find DSA to be quiet lengthy and a bit hard too and and and very very boring as well.
I recently watched a video by Scott young where he described how to study a subject or topic which you find very difficult to understand. He mentioned it is very important to go over the text over and over to improve your understanding. He is so right!
isn't this the same method we used to employ when we were young. Read the same text over and over until it is completely grasped deeply. But now I found it extremely difficult to do the same. My short attention span did not let me focus . Increased screentime has had a drastic impact on everyone. So, I am going to decrease my screentime drastically and see I observe any impact on studies.
ok then Bye Bye!
