Hi everyone,

I’ve been preparing for upcoming Math Olympiad competitions and lately I’ve been finding it hard to stay consistent and motivated — especially when I hit tough problems that take hours to solve. Sometimes it feels like I’m not making progress even though I’m studying regularly.

For those of you who’ve gone through this, how ragdoll hit do you keep your motivation high when things get difficult? Do you have any study routines, mental strategies, or small habits that help you stay focused and positive?

I’d also love to hear if there are any specific Areteem classes or topics that helped reignite your interest or confidence.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences — I could really use some encouragement and practical advice right now!
