This challenge exists to fix that.

💡 Tips for Staying Consistent

✅  Don't skip Day 1 because it seems "too basic" — it isn't.
✅  Pseudocode before you code. Always.
✅  Stuck for 20 min? Look at a hint. Stuck for 40? Look at the solution and understand it.
✅  Quantity matters early on. Speed comes with repetition.
✅  Share your progress publicly — accountability is everything.
