When starting out to build a skill like programming, 3D modelling, digital art, or cooking, you can look first for expert-created resources.
|
|
For example, when starting out to 3D model, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry.
|
|
In programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, or a live coding session.
|
|
You can then store the expert resources in your digital library (see [[file:2020-04-14-18-28-55.org][Maintain your own digital library]]) for future references.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects.
|
|
Other side effects include creating deliberate practice sessions and taking the stakes off to a higher start.
|
|
|
|
Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway (see [[file:2020-07-01-23-19-07.org][Information literacy]]).
|
|
On the other hand, this prevents you from quickly entering tutorial purgatory where you'll be stuck for an indefinite amount of time.
