Then don't study at a computer. Study on the couch. If you're using your phone or laptop, purchase a chrome cast. Plug that bytch to the TV and cast your bullshyt on to the TV. Keep water nearby (if you own a sports bottle use it). If you're following some video or video course. Take notes as you go to double on retaining the info. Take a break after every section, if no sections then take a break after every 30 min - hour. During your break get up and do something, you're already resting during studying since you're on the couch. Good luck breh.

I'll get a chromecast tomorrow and study and look at the tv once in a while, makes sense I think it will be more comfortable too.

With udemy app on mobile. Using Chromecast with it sucks, when a video ends it has that slow timer like YouTube if you're on autoplay. Instead of letting you skip you can only pause or wait. Chromecast doesn't recognize so it resets. Better to use a laptop and an HDMI cable if you're going to use udemy to learn, they have a site.

Anyone studying for the "microsoft python certification"?
Got any tips for this 40 question test.

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

Just copped the google cloud data engineer/architect udemy course...bout to go in these next two months..

then shift my focus to being fully proficient at python.

I can't make under 6 figures by 29...I just cant!!

 

[Balla]

How often do you study on these courses?

I want to buy hella courses and take them, my thing is I never taught myself anything. I only was taught in school, and my discipline is trash, I gotta find a way to sit my ass down and stick to the computer learning theses courses.

[Balla]

Is it worth studying the A+ at the same time as taking the Google it cert?

I know you can get the A+ faster because Google said it'll take 8-12 months, that's why I'm asking.
