This week was a bit hectic due to my full-time job and conference preparation at DevFest Berlin 2024. I also studied some topics related to urban mobility as a personal interest.

Purchased the Leetcode Premium and tried to follow some guides. I spotted that
Sliding Windowquestions are weak points for me.

Again lack of motivation hit me, in general work-related activities - end of the year.
- 20.12.2024 - Friday
End of the year, holidays, and increased work-load, all affect the dedication
- 27.12.2024 - The last Friday of 2024 :)
As holidays and I have no vacation days left, the work-load is so-so, but the holiday vibe affects my attention
- 03.01.2025 - The first Friday of 2025 :)
Only 1 challenge solved - clear indication of decreased interest, lack of motivation, increased depression and work load.
