I missed nearly all the programming contests last month because I had college exams, and now that I have returned to competitive programming, I am struggling to regain my focus and motivation. I seem to have lost the desire to participate in programming contests. Any suggestions so as what I should do?

Who Cares?
Use both hands
The one thing that let me return to CP was learning Go. Now I'm regaining my skills with fun. You should try it too!
Seriously, learn a new language. C++ or Python are great, but there are a lot of other great languages too. I found Go much easier and funnier to use than C++, and it's fast enough for CP.
surely will try to learn it.
I don't say that you should learn Go. Whatever language you have always wanted to learn but had no time for that will be good. Just make sure that it's present on Codeforces
Anyway wish you good luck with regaining your motivation
lis05 why you will learn Go
I had a hard time with doing CP at all, so I decided to combine learning a new language and returning to CP. It was a very good idea.
What will you do by go web development?
I'm not planning to do any Web development
I am also in the same situation But trying to regain my consistency.
If you're struggling with 'motivation', maybe cp isn't for you
Exactly, i mean if you really need motivation to do it on such regular basis then instead just leave it and start exploring other things for real
I really like participating in rated contests. But i do not like practicing at all. Is CP not for me??
your contributions reflect how much you practice
If you enjoy solving CP problems then CP is for u. Else idk.
But your streak is still going great!!
same but because of illness
Why would anyone even solve these silly problems if they didn't love solving problems, and instead required "motivation"? I just solve problems to cope with depression and feel slightly happy lol.
Your Smincerenfly: NeverCompromise
Listen to David Guetta — Titanium ;)
I try to solve some MO problems whenever i feel exhausted with cp, or just take a break of a week or so.
btw dhoni will be ashamed of you after seeing this post author carries his photo
I was in a pretty similar situation last year. I was doing good and had no desire to give contests again. So I decided to take a break from cp. I stopped opening codeforces, stopped solving new problems and everything. Within a week I was bored out of my mind and returned to cp.
You are a pussy. Who stops giving rated contests after reaching an inflated rating.
Thanks for stating the facts.
dude you didn't write contests for 5 months after the max rating and call someone pussy
sad_vibes_only is 18o3's ALT. lebowski998 speak when you know.
take a break, go do math puzzles. I recommend trying "heard on the street"...
Rule number 01:Never miss a contest :3
seek enjoyment, not motivation!
Try and do Virtual Contests, it may give you the essence of contests again.
