Look for live sessions as another form of examples

There is something powerful in seeing others doing the task as you are now seeing the process in action. A possible reason is our human tendency to follow by example. This is why apprenticeships are a popular form of this as you can gain an upclose look of how an experienced person does things.

Watching live sessions in any form can be a good way to learn and gain perspectives as you're viewing the raw footage of the task from its conception to its completion. This is why seeing live sessions such as live studying, live coding, and speedpainting sessions are compelling to watch.

This approach, as much as it is nice for gaining new perspectives, is not without its problems:

This approach will also be filled with questions as you pick up nuances and curiosities. Therefore, this approach is nice along with Communicate with others to learn.

At the very least, looking for others' approaches can always show you cool new stuff. But how about looking at live sessions of yourself? (See Live sessions of yourself doing things as an example.)
