How to escape the Tutorial Hell of React in Web Development?

When I started learning the web development I used to watch tutorials on Youtube. Also, I bought some courses from Udemy which I hardly completed.

There are a lot more courses available in Udemy with a very great content. The prices are also very reasonable and it takes a very less amount that is equivalent to buying a pizza for you!

The best form of investment is the one that you do on yourself and learning is the most effective area out of it. So I don't hesitate to buy any course wherever it's available.

The real problem arises when you go on purchasing the courses and don't complete it anymore. Once you start a specific tutorial you get the most of the resistance to it.

You don't like to learn it because it's very low dopamine action and our mind is addicted to the cheap dopamine levels that we get from social media.

Social media including Twitter is the cheapest form of dopamine providers if you don't use it wisely. It's like the slow poison to your mind.

So here are some of the hacks that you can do it overcome it.

• Start the tutorial and try to watch it without doing anything
• If you try to write some notes in the first place then your mind is very reluctant to do it and you end up doing nothing.
• So start very slowly to adapt to learning in initial days and keep the resistance lower in your mind.
• Follow the 4X pattern and don't expect that you'll understand everything in the first iteration.
• Try to follow the four iterations or repetition of the same tutorial back and forth strictly.
• You would have done it more than 50% of your capacity.
• Thus you can achieve at least more than half of your potential if you just keep your patience instead of just giving up.
• After that you can change the gear and accelerate more. Now you'll be fearless about that topic and you'll get self-motivation to do more.

This has worked really well in my case. You don't need to follow multiple tutorials from every platform or every channel from Youtube.

Once you get a basic understanding of the concepts, try to build things on your own. Just roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.

No one has ever learned to swim just by reading books or by sitting outside the pool. So just buckle up and get on the ride.

Hope this is useful! Cheers!
