If You Feel Burnt Out Do This 

Take an hour or 2 off to do irl stuff before coming back

for me I stop coding, I go jog, then come back shower, then play games for few hours if possible else spend time with gf, then start coding again. This is during work days.

@@JokeryEUbruh, your day is over by the time u do all those things

Same here, I love coding, but after a whole day at the office I don't feel like I want to do even more work..

@@LasTCursE69 I try to use any down time in work to study up on my own stuff but this is always a challenge as something always comes up in work to distract my attention away from what ever I have been working on. And of course they are paying me to work on their code..not my own lol

I wish I did meditation in college lol. Its like a superpower sometimes.

If you feel like this maybe it would be better to visit a psychologist

I know that feeling... I had this a few years ago. I was so fed up. But a break of 1 year really helped. In the end it was the best thing that happened to me because it made me change my life for the best. See this as an opportunity for change.

I know the feeling, me too. The only time I actually do any programming is when I get burnt out playing Factorio :D

It's called discipline

Don't increase dopamine before effort. Wake up and just be bored, stare at a wall until you start working. Small sacrifice, if this is too much then you don't really wanna get anything done :p

you already answered your own question. get rid of distractions and if you still can't lock in and finish the project then do something easier or change majors/career.

I have a similar issue. I get tunnel visioned so easily. It's like i'm having phases. I started freelancing 2 years ago. If i get into e.g. Games i can easily play 80 hours in 2 weeks, as if it's a job, lol. It's hard to change my tunnel vision to focus on something during a phase. But if my phase changes, i can drop other stuff like a hot potato and not touch it for weeks. e.g. I didn't play any games really for 4 weeks, which is crazy for me to say. The game for my example in this case is Helldivers 2. I also have phases where i even work each and every day in a weeks for 6+ hours. Depends on the project and state of that project. It's easier for me to do a lot when i'm at the start of a project. Btw. i deleted my Facebook, cleared my Twitter account. Reddit and RU-vid are the only Social Medias i check regularly. I do have more accounts, but only because i need it for work. I'm not really interested in those. Lastly i hate my phone, but it's an essential Tool i need. I compare my phone to a baby that's crying for attention, i hate it and almost always have it on mute, except when i expect someone to call me etc.

this ... though I was let go for doing the exact same thing from a company that expected me to code 8 hours a day AND keep up on current trends AND learn new programming languages

​@@JesseKaufman Sounds like they did you a service.

dread could also just be a sign that you aren't really passionate enough for CS if you're a student. It could also be prospects on the current job market making people seem like the grueling grind is hopeless

@@steven-cs8rr Yes absolutely. I also find that most of the time the feeling of dread comes from a project where you cannot see a path to success. Maybe you have been handed a mess of bad code. Or perhaps the goals are overwhelming and dumb. Or maybe you a ae out of your depth. That's why you need to confront the real issues IMHO.

For real 😅

Even funnier at 1.5x

head shake won't end, just wait for the videos he will release in 10 years, it might even get worse 😂

How long it took u to learn react?

I have quite a few. Many of them are in the Discussions/Explanations playlist.

- freelance dev Im going to have a break for six months.

@@fullstacklarry - hey, 1-200 clients, can I have a break for 6 months? - np, have 8!

Not bad, not bad...but I fire clients...

@@fullstacklarry well... Thank you)

it's called a "vacation"

also nepali 🇳🇵

same. and the reason is i am not good at solving leetcode type problems.

Wish us luck!

Why the move from C# to TS tho? is it a backend project?

@@4nt1g3n I learned C# first, but I found C# very difficult to get to a working interface where javascript and react, no problem. project has an api and a front end app

Same here

Same, too much shitty coders in it

@@themks8452 yeah and keep asking myself, if ai can do it, why should i put that much of effort on it😅

Yep, the ai trend is unpredictable for programmers.

Why ? ai is shit

Left my job where I had two dozens of trash projects with daily deadlines on a shit salary, 1000 hours of unpaid overtime in 8 years and a boss who insults and disses their employees. Instead now I have a job with significantly more but still below average salary where I just have to maintain two WordPress websites and some internal web platforms, have absolutely no deadlines, have no overtime and don't get guilt tripped and insulted on a daily basis. Doesn't sound like much, but that's already WORLDS apart from the job where they even tried to guilt trip me into staying AFTER my 3 months noticed was over.

How have been brainwashed by the industry.

do something else, bro. this industry is screwed. especially if you are from India.
