Currently want to become a programmer, but my motivation/drive to actually learn Data Structures and Algorithms is very little.

Curious if any have any studies or proven techniques to improve drive/motivation.

    Study a few pages every day of whatever is not motivating, and keep going for months and months

    Have a vision of what you want to do later with that skill (for example "6 months from now, I program an app that can send Morse code through my phone’s flashlight ")

    Every day, do the studying chores first, THEN do the fun stuff like playing video games or scrolling through social media. Never the opposite

    Spend more time with those that have similar goals
