I've been diving deep into coding since late November or early December. While I started with some background knowledge, I found the coding world to be incredibly beautiful and interesting. However, after pushing myself to learn 8-10 hours a day for 5-7 days a week, I've hit a wall. I'm now struggling with zero motivation to write any code. I'm worried about forgetting what I've learned and losing my interest altogether. Has anyone else experienced this kind of burnout? What strategies did you use to overcome it?

Taking care of yourself is key! Get some exercise, hang out with friends, and give yourself a mental break. To keep your momentum going, it helps to have alternate projects to switch to when one gets stale. It keeps the creativity flowing. Good luck with it! You're going to get back into it!
You're definitely not alone in feeling burnt out like this. It's common to need some space to clear your mind. Just remember, it's okay to take a breather! Try to explore coding at your own pace and work on projects that excite you personally. For me, I focus on fun side projects – like creating games or building cool websites. Keeping it enjoyable really helps me stay motivated!
It sounds like you really need to take a break! Learning non-stop can really drain your energy. Maybe take some time off to do something different – watch a movie, read a book, or just relax. Don't feel guilty about it; stepping away for a bit can actually help reignite your passion when you return.
Thanks! I'm definitely trying to balance my personal projects with a good break.
