What's actually worked for you to stay consistent with DSA without burning out?
Tried the two-new-problems-a-day thing in January, felt like a machine for three weeks, then completely stopped for a month after burning out. Restarted smaller, one problem every other day, and it's stuck for six weeks now but progress feels slower. Curious what pacing has actually held up for people long term versus what just looked good for a few weeks.

AnonymousAnon Following this thread with interest. Building a small spaced-repetition habit around problem patterns instead of always chasing something new has been the closest thing to a system that's actually stuck for me, three months in so far.

AnonymousAnon I switched to reviewing old problems instead of always doing new ones and burnout dropped a lot. Novelty was the addictive but exhausting part.

AnonymousAnon Every other day with a hard cap on time (I do 45 minutes max) has been the only thing that's lasted more than a month for me. Daily just wasn't sustainable.
