Week 1: Extremely distressed. Only one of the 7 questions I have attempted in contests has passed all test cases. I solved all of them but there is a time complexity issue with 6 of them! Most of my solutions are pretty naive and not efficient. Hopefully, I'll get better with practice. 43 days before end of "Holidays".

Week 2: Gave a div 3 contest. Solved first question in 40 minutes even though I guessed the correct algo in 2. Had to stop in the middle for some work. After the contest, solved second question in 15 minutes! Solved the third one in about 40 mins as well. Felt the questions were easy. Couldn't do 4,5,6. Couldn't submit Q2,3. Still, some progress.

Week 3: Gave div 2 contest and realized I should not look div 1,2. Practicing everyday. Explored leetcode as well.

Week 4: Round 647 div2. 2/6 problems solved. Attempted two more but couldn't figure out the logic. Got best rank yet at around 7.4k. First rating increase. Working on gfg and codeforces contest questions.

Week 5-6: Gave 4 rounds. Good progress in terms of solving atleast two questions in less time. Will focus more on div2-C now. Rating 1194. Best rank 4.9k
