I don't know why I psyche myself out about how difficult a new thing is going to be and it never is... I read, and obsess, and talk myself out of applying what I've read, then watch videos about whatever the thing is, then pep talk myself for 2 days - 2 weeks, then I read a little more, then I try it and always find myself surprised at how simple the task turns out to be. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's a self-perpetuating cycle because I'm not sure if these tasks are actually that simple or if I beat myself into understanding before I attempt them... so I just keep learning through self-doubt. And laughing about it in the end.

I do the same thing, drives me crazy, and that's a short drive!

Is this on coding and all your studies? ๐Ÿ‘€

Everything... from coding to making cheese ๐Ÿ˜‚

What else are you studying? Now I'm quite interested ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿง

As of late, treating my lnd node like a thing I actually have to deal with, coding, importing agricultural products, maximum yield gardening, growing & processing tobacco, pencil sketching techniques, and whatever else distracts me from those along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ˜ฎ a voracious learner here! Youre among frens ๐Ÿ˜Š

To teach is to learn. I'll have some time available in like 2 weeks or so, maybe we should trade skills ๐Ÿ‘€

I'll teach you what I know about setting up some JavaScript development and you teach me some of your lnd node stuff ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ Maybe some gardening, perchance?

Oh gosh, I don't know if I could teach much on the lnd yet ๐Ÿ˜‚ but I'll see what's going on... I'll have a better idea after my I get work stuff going this week. Pre-christmas season is a little wild.

For sure I get that ๐Ÿ’€

If you do have time over the next few weeks/months I'll still happily get you up and running on some JavaScript programming ๐Ÿ˜Š

I can teach everything I know about gardening. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

Or pencil sketching, or... Importing agricultural products?!๐Ÿง

They're all actually interesting๐Ÿ˜…

Growing food is the only one I'm actually confident in. Importing is something I'm trying to figure out for work.

I'm in the pep talk stage on coding right now ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

This resonates. I feel like the more I wait, preparing/procrastinating the easier it actually ends up being in the end. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Exactly! Why is that?? It makes no sense. ๐Ÿ˜
