For example I try going through an online course on React but I lose my interest within 15-20 minutes and wander off to Youtube or twitter and so on.</p> <p>It's not that I'm not able to focus on my work or anything . I have ample amount of time in my hand , I know i need to improve my skill. I constantly try to learn new skills (coming back to my workstation and forcing myself to sit there until and unless its done). But everything seems to be a burden in this respect.</p> <p>So every day feels like loss to me, Having no job also is a burden.<br> I don't know what to do or what to expect or anything.</p> <p>Just wanted to vent it all out. I don't know.</p> developer frontend discuss javascript
