Since I use more social apps , I am forgetting my coding & learning skills. I can't understand complex concepts.How would it be to delete them all ? But there are some helpful people.because of them , I don't want to delete.Also , Motivation doesn't work for me 🙂.( Seeking for experienced programmers )

It can help if you can formulate your long term goals. There must be a reason why you started using Sololearn. You wanted to learn programming. But why? What do you want to achieve in your life, in your career? Write it down for yourself. Then set the path for yourself to get there. What does it take to acquire a certain skill? Allocate a fixed amount of time every day for coding and practice. Does not matter if it's 1 hour or 15 minutes but it should be regular. It can help if you write a journal or blog about your accomplishment, take notes what you learned. The best motivation in my opinion, is if you can find a personal project, some task that you can solve with coding that has an important impact on your own life. Like build an app for yourself, or a website, whatever your interest is. Social media was designed to be addictive. It is like a drug. If you realise this, it's the first step to condition yourself, to stop looking at it all the time. It does not bring you any closer to your long term goals.

Just remember why you started this , and what was the purpose for it and what benefits you can gain by doing programming, bro motivation is not important if you have purpose so motivation is already on the road , so first just realize your past and think why you started learning programming

Tibor Santa you are absolutely right 👍. Thanks for your help. Social media is a drug I know. But as I mentioned earlier, Some helpful & knowledgeable people are there.But deleting is best option.

Mushahid Bukhari , I don't know about you, but the reason I'm here is because I have some pet projects I want to realize, and learning Python is a means to that end. If you're just doing it for fun or to get the temporary feel-good juice from the automated reward of a b.s. certificate from an app that's easy to cheat on, I can easily believe you're not that motivated. Maybe give it a rest and do something completely different with your life.

The best advice I can give is to let go of the pressure of learning to code. Do it because you want to. There are enough miserable developers doing it only for the paycheck and never going beyond the basics because they really don't like it. That's not just software engineering advice, either. That's career advice. Don't do something just for the paycheck, especially if you don't like it. Do it because you want to or because you want to learn a skill. Let go of the pressure of learning everything in great detail. Know enough to do what you want to.

It is question to learn things from the very basic. No need to speed up, take your time. Everything will be easy at some training.
