Let me say something clearly, because a lot of people need to hear it: If you’re tired, unmotivated, or second-guessing your tech career change,it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It usually means you’ve been pushing without seeing traction. And that’s brutal on the brain. Here’s what I see all the time: You’re showing up. You're putting in time. You’re trying to “do it right.” But the progress feels invisible. No clear wins. No signal you’re on track. Just effort → effort → effort. That’s not laziness. That’s a system problem. Motivation doesn’t disappear for no reason People don’t burn out because tech is too hard. They burn out because: - The goal feels far away - The next step isn’t clear - And they don’t know if today’s work actually matters When effort isn’t connected to momentum, the mind starts pulling the emergency brake. That’s normal. The shift that changes everything The people who break through don’t suddenly get more discipline. They do something simpler: - They narrow the focus - They define what “progress” actually looks like - They stop trying to do everything Energy comes back when effort starts producing visible movement. Even small wins change how the work feels. Read this slowly You don’t need: - More hours - More tools - More pressure on yourself You need direction you trust and a pace you can sustain. That’s it. Here’s something I want you to do today 👇 Not tomorrow. Not “after more research.” Reply with one sentence: What would make you feel like this week actually moved you forward? Not perfect. Not impressive. Just forward. Say it out loud.Once it’s named, it’s easier to build around
