It's not difficult at all.

1. LC for 2 months (4 months for total noobs). Think out loud as if you are explaining to someone.

2. Take good and short notes.

3. Do some exercise everyday and get good sleep everyday.

4. Include good mix of veggies and fruits in your diet. Also, stay hydrated.

All the above points are EQUALLY important.

Treat this as an instruction manual with actionable items. The instructions cannot get simpler than this.

All the best!

PS. If you think I am underplaying the strategy required to get into FAANG, no, I am not.

PS2. For Google-L4, 200 LC is good. 150 M, 50 H.

PS3. Regarding System Design - SD is simpler than algorithms and DS. Few youtube lectures are good enough. It is just fitting of components like cache, load-balancer, compute-engine, storage, query-handlers, etc. to match the requirement.
