Why does everything get boring so fast?

Question

Career in IT

Hello, the question is of course very abstract, but I would like to hear advice. I am 15 years old. For the last 1-1.5 years I have been actively studying programming, subjectively - the base is good. And for all this period I observe the following situation: as soon as I take on any area (direction), I “burn” it, I like everything, I study the basics / technologies / frameworks (everything gradually, without porridge), but after about 2-3 Literally at the moment everything bothers me for a month and I want to change direction dramatically. Because of this situation, I know a little everywhere. Very annoying, so I'm asking for advice here. What to do? Continue to study the initial direction, scoring on another? Or do you want to change direction?

PS Anticipating answers in the spirit of: “quit programming”, “forget it, not for you”, I’ll say that I really like programming itself and I’m sure that I will connect my life with it, but now I’m rushing from direction to direction, which makes it difficult to concentrate on development.

Answer 1

2-3 months is very little to learn anything.
There is a suspicion that you like to solve simple things, and as soon as a task appears that requires a lot of time and effort, you get bored.
It's about willpower and unwillingness to study anything deeply. Here you are jumping on top.

Answer 2

Any action must produce a result.
It makes no sense to study something just like they study chemistry, physics, algebra at school, and after a month this knowledge disappears.
There must be motivation. You need to see the result of your work.
You don't see it because you're just learning the instrument. And learning an instrument without real practice is meaningless, no matter how old you are.
Take technology and come up with a real task for yourself - to create something, a finished product. This will motivate you at this stage.
If there is no motivation for the invented task, then it really is not for you. And here you don’t need to fall into hysterics, the world didn’t converge on IT alone, this is far from the best field of activity to devote your whole life to it.
I also agree with Julia Bedrosova . Of course, this is not entirely your case, your mother still feeds you, but the essence is very close - if you do not receive moral satisfaction from work, then you should receive material. You will not receive money for your work soon, this is me, by the way.
As a result, now you do not receive any moral satisfaction (because of the senselessness of studying these endless technologies), or material. And this for 1.5 years! Your brain provokes a completely natural reaction - it does not want to do something that does not give you (let's say rudely) "happiness".

Answer 3

To win and step over this line by willpower, it is necessary to destroy this dominant and form a new (correct) one.
Try to rest, give the brain unloading.
To study what Ukhtomsky's dominant is.
Go in for sports to train willpower and regimen.

Answer 4

Switch to visual programming.

Answer 5

I think the problem is that you set yourself very simple tasks and quickly solve them.
Obviously, you quickly get bored within the same ecosystem, and you start looking for new sources of knowledge at the call of the brain.
Try to take on more challenging tasks.

Answer 6

Learn from books and go to work
