Title: Stepping Up: A Month of Daily Problem-Solving

Have you ever faced a problem that seemed insurmountable, leaving you unsure of where to even begin? I've been there. For a long time, I avoided constructive algorithm problems, convinced they were beyond my grasp. I'd give myself just 15 minutes to tackle a problem each day for a month, hardly enough time to scratch the surface.

But then, I decided to take a different approach. I made a commitment to confront these challenges head-on, dedicating myself to solving one problem every day for a month. And that decision led me on a transformative journey of self-discovery and skill development.

One of the problems I encountered during this month-long challenge was the "Rectangle Filling" problem, rated at 1100 difficulty. Initially, it seemed daunting with its complex descriptions and examples. Doubt crept in, but I refused to be deterred. Armed with only a pen and paper, I began breaking down the problem and brainstorming solutions.

Despite my efforts, my initial coding attempts resulted in six wrong submissions. It was frustrating, to say the least. But instead of giving up, I sought guidance and compared my approach with others'. Surprisingly, our solutions were almost identical, except for a small mistake in my return statement that caused repeated failures.

Reflecting on my month-long journey, I realized the immense value of perseverance and dedication. Each day brought new challenges and opportunities for growth. Even though I made mistakes along the way, each one taught me something valuable about problem-solving.

The key lesson I learned is that progress takes time and consistent effort. So, to anyone feeling hesitant or overwhelmed, I encourage you to take that first step. You might be surprised at what you can achieve when you commit to daily practice and embrace the journey of learning.
