Shifting Gears Today - Learning Over Doing

This post was originally published on June 23, 2020 on my blog.

Good morning! I woke up today wanting to put all individual projects on hold for the day and instead focus back on the learning side of things with my JavaScript Udemy course.

From where I've left off, I'll be starting in on a big project that makes use of some sort of recipe website API, so I'm looking forward to finally getting more focused practice on using APIs.

At this moment, I'm feeling like APIs are something that seem slightly insurmountable when, of course, I know they're not, and I just need to learn, implement, and start building with them.

It's that reliable moment when our brains start getting a little anxious because we don't know exactly how to do something, so they shy away in favor of doing things they've mastered - like scrolling social media or diving back into our latest book or TV show.

Brains - those clever little devils!

Looking forward to shifting gears today and embracing a few hours of learning some new things!

Thanks so much for reading along! Now let's be friends over on Twitter >>
