Programming doesn't have to be a solitary activity. Instead of taking in on by yourself, engage in pair programming. Since pair programming has people working together from a single computer, it is a great way to learn different strategies for tackling problems and approaching the process. This type of practice will quickly make you a better programmer, as long as you choose a good partner.
