Thoughts

Slow down to go fast.

This morning I woke up thinking about when I was learning guitar, and how I would teach someone to play. You have to learn your instrument before you can play music. You learn how to hold it in a relaxed state, and you train each hand individually with no pressure of rhythm or time. You slow down in order to go fast later. With that thought, I realized how much I want to learn this, how I wish I could spend all day studying, and that I need to slow down a little… I finished the Microsoft C# playlist, and I didn’t have it all down. My roadmap includes many, many reps, but ultimately I do not want to form the habit of rushing. I want to take my time to fully grasp each step, each word, each technique, and then move on. I am going to re-teach myself how to type. I can type over 80 WPM, but my technique is flawed. I want perfect technique so there’s less friction in the future. I also want to be one of those devs who can navigate the computer with no mouse. So, I’m going to go through the playlist slowly alongside the documentation, and eventually read the C# Player’s Guide with the docs alongside Dometrain. Reps on reps on reps. Just like when I sat there for hours slowly fretting basic chord shapes until I couldn’t take the pain anymore. The pain goes away, and then you can play music. 慢慢来~
