From the beginning, I made a rule, solve 1 exercise every 3 days. For controlling myself, I downloaded task manager, actually "Chaos Control" its pretty cool, but it is free:( For learning algorithms and data structures fundamentals I recommend you to complete [this](https://stepik.org/course/217/syllabus) and [this](https://stepik.org/course/1547/syllabus) if you are Russian speaker and [this](https://www.coursera.org/specializations/data-structures-algorithms) if you are English speaker, it isn\'t easy to solve their tasks using coursera ui, but you can find similar tasks here on leetcode and solve here. Intermediate results: This Autumn past the first round in **ACM ICPC** (most popular student programming competition) and represented our university in the second round. Also, you must try mock interviews, it is awesome.
