Skills should be applied for the sake its own

  • 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 Programming side projects or sketching for Illustration
  • this idea should be cherised for several reasons

  • 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.
