Let me write another story about the practice. Why any education costs nothing if you affraid of using what you've learnt.

Any technology is a knowledge of how to do some process by steps. Preparing, collecting, processing, organizing, implementing, forming, building, using.

If you try to replicate the process - some step definitely will be skipped, mistakenly recreated. Time, years of practice making it possible to master technology.

We don't need nowadays to learn how to create bricks from the mud. To learn the process it's needed to spend several days. Just for the basics. To master the process needed years. It obviously will improve your understanding of the process, and will make experience richer. After the course you may receive a certificate. Later YouTube will recomend your videos for someone. But nobody will hire.

Education is a risk of losing too much time, if you don't know how to use it. It becomes useless because technology is changing. Everyday the software is improving, Ai creates new ways of doing the process. And all we can do is to learn and practice this new ways and technologies.

The faster you experiment with the software, the faster you will learn how to try new interesting things. Learning by watching makes possible to see what you can do, but not transforming you into a person, who does.

When the time comes to the practical part, there's a lot of doubts, thoughts. But this happens when you typically trying to remember the process instead of doing it automatically and instsantly when you've received this information. Organization and planning takes time, but when you learn it's just need to do mistakes. Fast and dirty experimentation. No expectations, just the process of mistakes. Because you're just learning. No responsibility, no care and frequent iterations.

Starting too late is the reason of bigger fails. Inapropriate estimation of time is also a common problem when usually expecting to spend every day 1-2 instead of 5-7 hours results in poor results. But being nervous before you start is completely cuts down creative mood and wastes enourmous amounts of time.

Many courses are built on the same practice, when some material is explained and then goes testing, examination, You have to rely on memory to finish the test. But it's needed to write down the notes during the education and then practice ideas in real life situations. Because even if you will pass the test, it doesn't mean, you will be ready for such situation in real life. Several tries are diminishing such frustrations and making much comfortable starting process much more comfortable.

There's not much needed to start, but skipping this moment is increadibly bad thing, because when you keep reading or watching you're mistakenly thinking that the process is going worward. But instead you're moving in one direction and then it's needed to return back to initial starting point. Which is significant waste of time and you realise it. That's the moment of procrastination. Especially if it's connected with distractions on the moment of "finishing the lesson" and when you switching the activity - you're starting to forget everything what you've seen recently. You can't remember what from what step is needed to begin with. That's the main reason of negative experience. It's just a method of learning. Everyone can think that they're somehow bad at some particular things, but it's just a matter of learning approach.

Spending more time on practice and proper methods of learning is what makes possible to learn faster and better. Plus having more free time for rest, sleep and other personal activities

Fast watching is a fast result we think. Watching and practicing is too slow. Why we estimate it like that? Everyone wants quick results. But at the end it's a faster way to learn when you apply knowledge immediately, even with mistakes.

That the reason of setting everything on commercial projects, without doing free creative project to test some new technics (technologies) and apply them in next commercial job. Skipping correct educational step is the main problem of losing the valuable feeling of current trends and market requirements.

Feeling of losing time, when it's already so much time is lost in life, really makes us do strange and usually bad decissions. Planning and setting priorities is what really gives freedom. Clear necessity of doing some long projects or learning some technics becomes possible when you have understanding of how much time you can spend on it, and that it will be really enough time for this.

Why you're doing this exact thing, just have this answer everytime, everyday in the morning. And don't put everything on some project, that's not returning investments immediately. It's like a circulation of air in blood. You must clearly understand for which period of time you can hold your breath comfortably. Everything should go as it should be, but much faster.

When you're starting to live at such a fast pace, using correct methods of planing, education and implementing newly built skilset - changes are more prominent and quick. That's the moment when you finally see the changes and control the situation.
