- this is especially true if you're a beginner
- it is a simple activity with one neat rule: any amount of things spent on learning should be spent on applying
- this means that you should apply your skill as is without the clutches of learning;
in most cases, you would do it for fun;
several examples includes [[id:4b33103b-7f64-4b51-8f03-cac06d4001bb][Programming]] side projects or sketching for [[id:cd7e8120-6953-44a6-9004-111f86ac52dc][Illustration]]
- this idea should be cherised for several reasons
- this lets you into experimenting with things and not be afraid of failure
- applying knowledge is a skill itself
- it allows you to make dive into concepts that you'll be exploring eventually;
[[id:12dc8b07-ed8b-46d8-bff0-a38d9f3cb83b][Diving head-first with a difficult problem is a good indicator of progress]]
- while it is nice to have additional benefits and intentions, applying this should be done on its own without any additional things in mind;
- however, keep in mind this is not about successes or failures;
Imagine the same situation but with us being more familiar with the technical topics.
Being more technically-inclined bears with the additional expectation that we should apply the skill smoothly.
However, applying the skill is also a skill.
Being knowledgable is not the same as understanding how to apply.
