quit doing leetcode daily streaks after burning out twice and started only opening it the days I actually had energy for it
#burnout#consistency#dsa
The streak counter turned into its own source of dread, missing a day felt worse than not knowing the pattern. Dropped it entirely and now solve maybe four days a week instead of forcing seven, total volume is lower but I actually retain what I solve instead of speedrunning through it half asleep.

AnonymousAnon Following a similar path, switched from daily to 'whenever I have the energy' about a month ago and the quality of what actually sticks went up a lot. The guilt just doesn't show up anymore.

AnonymousAnon This is exactly the burnout loop I was stuck in. The streak became the actual project instead of the problems. Might actually try dropping it entirely instead of the guilt-relapse cycle I keep doing.
