Discussion on: what works for you while self learning? What keeps the motivation? What stops you from giving up?

I am a puzzle solver. Nothing beats the feeling of solving a good riddle. Early on in the 80ies, I played tons of video games. Now I solve programming puzzles at work and play RPGs in my spare time.

Learning new things is self rewarding for me.
I would "give up", when I am forced to do the same over and over again without any change or improvement.

I am enjoying it as long as I can.

OTOH, I wouldn't say "giving up". When you stop doing things, you are only changing pace and direction. 😉
