how do you not get stuck in tutorial hell? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] 3 points 1 day ago

Tutorial hell might be some type of procrastination. I'd watch YouTube videos all day on all topics because I didn't want to create something and just "learn", but it doesn't create real skill and it is not where the fun lies.

The biggest challenge might just be to find the thing you want and can do. If you really want to learn, then you might just regulate your want to some beginner level that is borderline useless.

Take language leaning for example, you want to speak enough to understand a conversation, but as this takes a LOT of time it gets frustrating really fast. What you can do is learn a simple sentence and try to speak it and understand it. "Good morning, how are you doing?" — "Guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?".

Or programing, don't think about this huge project, but a simple simple action; read variables from a document or create a function for some math. One of my first programing was calculating Fibonacci numbers.

In my opinion it might not be so bad to be stuck in tutorial hell, it might just be a form of entertainment for you. But if its a form of addiction, then maybe treat it as such. If it is a form of escaism then treat it as such. If it is adhd or autism or something else then treat it as such. Take simple and small steps, celebrate successes however small they are and think why you defaulted to tutorials instead of doing something, even thought you want to do something

    Some depressed teens find their joy in life and just go on with their lifes. Some are still depressed and go on with their life's, but are unhappy. I recommend the first option.

    here a tyramine list The biggest differences are tomatoes being fine and broccoli not being fine. Idk how scientific your list is, but all tyramine list are vibes only. E.g. people on reddit being like "yea this gave me a migraine" + the substances grow in a similar fashion, so its no wonder they match mostly 1:1

    I am a Rat and my dopamine is out for the day, so I can only follow the cheese. (lemmy.world)
     

    saldy I have to do things and procrastinate them. I get to work I end up doing completly unrelated things – I finally learned to do my financial accounting lol. And the more I push one thing, the harder it gets to follow other important things, like workout.

    It's annoying and hard. losing day after day to procrastination and or headaches and sleepyness from too many thoughts at night makes it even harder.

    I know I am on a good track and need a few days until the system starts working again, but sometimes it just feels bad when 2 days in a row you fail to meet any goals.

    Also fuck headaches and insomia, literally unnecessary debuffs. And they make handling my adhd so much worse.

    Project are fun (lemmy.world)
     

    I am currently working on a project, because life forces me to do it. But I have to say if the topic is right then working on a project is incredibly fun. You create and learn so much new things and work on different aspects of the project. I never really tire out of the tasks because new challenges and topics are just that common. But be warned, scope creep is the beginning of the boring shit. It gets repetitive real quick when you want to add and add and add in one domain of the project. Start small, stay small and achievable and just work on it consistently.

    This post is like a little shower thought, because I was just playing around on my phone, getting lost in mini games / puzzles or social media and that stuff gets so boring so quick. I have seen and played these games before and I just come back to them because they are easy, but they give me nothing.
