I completed 300 questions on Leetcode today March 13th. I first started my Leetcode grinding journey on Oct 31st. It took me 4.5 months to solve 300 problems on Leetcode. I kept my full-time job while I invested my time in Leetcode.
In the beginning, I used a <a target="_blank" href="https://christychoi.hashnode.dev/network-30-day-study-challenge-how-to-make-money-by-studying">group study app</a> to force myself to solve 1 problem per day, but I think it's important to solve problems at my own pace. After forcing myself for 8 weeks to build a habit, I threw away the app and started solving multiple questions per day.
It was so grueling to grind 300 problems, but I didn't want to live a life with constant excuses, so I paid for the <a target="_blank" href="https://christychoi.hashnode.dev/is-leetcode-premium-worth-it">premium subscription service</a> that I reviewed in my previous post.

<ul>
<li>Instead of tackling new problems, I would review the ones that I solved. Medium-level problems have given me so much headache, I feel the strong need to go review before I encounter new problems.

<li>I should multitask. I should solve algorithm problems on weekdays and work on other coding projects on the weekend.
