Wow maza aa gaya... 2 saal se Tutorial hell me faskar.. HTML CSS JS sikh raha tha.. or jab JS start kiya . .. usme kuch practicle Application nhi.. bs Concept learning tha..
Such relatable and actual tips which I needed to hear. Learning 2 things in parallel makes sense. Also taking notes of things which intrigued interest. Could you make a video of how to make a system for that too?
Also, one piece of advice I would give is when you are learning new things, it is very common to find new terms. Instead of just skipping them, search for them in a new tab, what it is and how it relates to what you are learning. Decide how much time you should give to understand it based on how much it is used in the thing you are learning(some can be skipped, some require a skim read while some require a good understanding). This way(you can call it DFS) you would be able to tackle any new topic in a reasonable time with a good understanding.
But this is also the reason for keep jumping from one topic to another. Suppose I found a new term when learning something. Now I have to understand what that new term is and while doing that, you catch another new term within it. And ends up inside the rabbit hole. :')
@@meowrbius Yes, it is often that we keep jumping into things, but you have to decide when things are diverging from the main topic. As I said, you don't have to grasp everything. Decide how much time to spend on a topic based its relevance to the thing you are trying to understand. I hope this clears my point.
Great tips for any field. About the tip on picking 2 things to learn - we need to use the cognitive part of brain to learn and register stuff. So, once we feel bored , it may be due to continuous cognitive load and switching to another topic which still requires cognitive power may not help everyone. Instead, I suggest to mindlessly scroll IG or shorts for a set interval where your brain can rest and resume with 2nd topic.
I'm officially a fan ! 😊 I really like how you break things down. And for a perfectionist like me who is always scouting for the perfect course, this was much needed.
Great advice regarding juggling. I suffer from this problem of being curious about something, start learning and find something else and switch to it, ad infinitum. Juggling seems to be an interesting strategy, I will try this and see how it goes.
Thanks, Arpit bhai for the advice... I always want to get deep into the frontend part so whenever I find some topic or article I just bookmark it and leave it to read later but later never comes. This advice is really good to write the topic in notes along with "why"
Pointing out about the part that we do like to read some topics and then kind of get bored and explaining how to tackle that, damnnnnnnn, that was a really explaination and really helped me in tackling it, the idea to keep two things parallel is great, THanks!
Thanks Arpit for sharing this. It is very relatable to what I do generally. Starting reading one thing then found another interesting things .. kind of DFS. 😊
thanks Man, really thoughtful and practical tips, like by listening only we can tell these are coming from a profound and experienced person of the field. Will definitely try and implement these tips. Coz I am in my 0-5 yrs exp. category. need to get width now ;)
Agreed to all this. I have a question. You mention about distractions. My distractions are email newsletters from Blogs/ dev drops / Yt Videos notifications or feed /Twitter feed /LinkedIn feed. This itself is so overwhelming as everyone is posting something new. I wish to know how everyone manages this schedule? The curiosity list will become fairly lengthy IMO. How to restrict it?
I'm facing the same dilemma with newsletters and LinkedIns' idea and me trying my best to sort them out and understand the overall scheme of things. Your posted this 3 months ago, hopefully you found something to help us both.

07:58 Inverse Power Law
Don't ignore the basics improve gradually
10:18 Juggle and Timebox

Getting overwhelming and not having dipper understanding
any ways to resolve this
@@subhaspaul495 first learning basic and keep asking question from yourself about everything like why what how and how it can be in real life project
Things that are distracting this person is Linux kernel😂😂 instead of social media and netflix 10:54
Yeah happens to me as well, started something, finding some other article talks about any fancy tech

As always no fluff. You're killing it brother.

I do this as well. Calling it DFS learning makes sense!
But this is also the reason for keep jumping from one topic to another. Suppose I found a new term when learning something. Now I have to understand what that new term is and while doing that, you catch another new term within it. And ends up inside the rabbit hole. :')

These were some amazing tips, Arpit! I think I've used almost all of these to become a software developer while being a full-time emergency doctor.
Great tips for any field.

You actually gave the crux of one of the Habit Building approach while expalining, at 02:45 that is illustrated in "Atomic Habits" book.

Thank you :)
You hit the nail on the head with so many of these things - especially reading, reading and not implementing.
All these 5 points make sense and well explained!
Will definitely start implementing these in my life:)
No fluff, pure stuff - super tips!
06:18 "We like to live in a beautiful world made up in our head "- ouch
I haven't spend time to saw one reel before this video
But I spent literally 15min, superb video Thanks Arpit

I have been trying to practice the picking of 2-3 thing at once and that has helped me. It took some time to adapt, but worth it.

Big bunch of thanks Arpit.. i was doing the last thing which is juggle. Now I got an soultion😁
Jump start is really amazing part!
Thank you ,So relatable Helpful video
the last tip actually worked for me.
I also take notes when something interesting is found and visit it later, not to distract while doing something
Great video ❤
One more tip would be to share/teach whatever you learn. Doing this has multiple benefits as already mentioned by Richard Feynman.
