Burned out grinding graph problems alone for three weeks, joined a study group and finished the same list in five days

Was stuck rewatching the same graph traversal videos for three weeks straight, convinced I just wasn't a 'graph person.' A coworker dragged me into a weekly study group where we each explain our approach out loud before touching code. Turns out half my problem was never actually verbalizing my thinking, just pattern matching against solutions I'd seen before. Finished the rest of the list in five days once I had to explain it to someone else first.
