Hi Sanjay,
The context you are portraying is rather broad. I am assuming the profession you are pursuing was chosen based on potential, interest and the desire to make our world a better place to live in.
Ultimately, the importance of knowledge is not just possessing it but rather the impact it creates when we put it to good use. Your motivation should be driven by what you will be able to do with the qualification you are currently pursuing.
How well we manage our time determines how much we achieve each day - the reality is that each one of us has only twenty four (24) hours each day. It's important to prioritize what we do. Primary focus should be on what is important - important things contribute significantly to the achievement of our goals. If what is urgent is not important, we should defer it to a later convenient date/time.
Usually, it's necessary to dedicate more effort/time in areas of study where we have weakness, without compromising performance in areas where we are good. You need to strive for excellence at all times.
Whereas formal learning is a fact of life in our society, we must never underestimate the significance of experiential learning. Getting involved in practical work affords us the opportunity to learn through experience - it's an enduring asset supported by such attributes as curiosity, interest, perseverance, willingnesss to take risks etc.
As humans, we need time to work, rest, recreate, travel, engage in sports/physical exercises, be with family and friends etc. Balancing these activities is essential. It may work differently for different people. You need to establish what works best for you

Hello there,
Everyone older than you has been in your situation, it's alright to feel this way. I've taught myself full-stack programming over the past couple of years, you probably know more than I do, and what I'll say is as long as you have a growth mindset, you'll be right where you need to be. I'll learn something new every day until I'm no longer on this planet, & as long as you stay positive then you'll be fine.
I use AI to teach me new things all the time; guided learning via Google Gemini has been an amazing resource for me. With how fast this technology is developing, just stay focused on what you can control - that's your mindset and your willingness to learn from others.

You're doing great right now, even if it doesn't feel that way. Starting with full-stack in your first year gives you lots of time to learn without rushing. You don't need to be an expert yet; most people aren't at this stage. The main thing is to get comfortable with coding bit by bit. Focus on basics like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and one backend language. Don't worry about learning every framework out there. Many beginners get stuck watching tutorials forever, so try making small projects early on, even if they seem simple or messy.
For a daily routine, keep it practical so you can stick to it. Maybe spend 1 to 2 hours learning from a course or documentation, then another hour building something with what you learned. Think of small projects like a personal website, a to-do list app, or a simple login system. Some days you'll feel productive, and other days you won't, and that's okay. The key is to keep showing up regularly instead of cramming or comparing yourself to others who seem ahead.
Over the next few years, just keep learning gradually. In your first year, focus on understanding basics and trying new things. In your second year, build bigger projects, learn about databases and APIs, and maybe work with classmates or contribute to small open-source projects. By your final year, aim to have a few solid projects to show when applying for internships or jobs. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. Just keep practicing and improving a little at a time, and you'll be surprised by how much progress you make.
