Gabriel Arazas fbc458499e Restructure and update learning-related notes

and the evergreen notes but I'm starting to lean in combining the two

When starting out, focus on quantity over quality

  • when learning a new skill, there is a tendency to overanalyze what is the next move; remember: Overanalyzing slow you down
  • to solve against this, it is better to just start, not minding the quality of each piece/project you create
  • when you have a portfolio, you're essentially creating an improved version of your previous works; creating projects can be an iterative process
  • examples:

    • when starting a YouTube channel, focus more on putting out more videos
    • when producing music, create more music and publish them
    • when programming, create more programs of all usability from completely useless to something useful for you
  • more importantly, good sense of skill develops over time; you may as well finish a lot of work from it
  • just like how Being misinformed is better than being ignorant, having mountainous amount of bad ideas can make something better, Failed ideas can be repurposed;
  • however, being focus on quantity leaves the opportunity to make something stand out
  • furthermore, being focused on quantity for a long time creates stagnation and bad habits start to manifest; to mitigate against this event, you can start focusing on the quality, making Deliberate practice sessions;
  • beyond that, you can balance the focus between quality and quantity; you can Create roadmaps to stay on track, tracking deadlines to produce reasonable amount of work over a period of time
