Tiny Brain Hack for Getting Over Fear of Coding Something New

A little brain hack to quiet that fearful voice in your brain when coding something new:

1. write a quick list of steps to tackle the problem
2. write the difficulty next to each step
3. code
4. reread the difficulty when the fear kicks up

My brain will tell me steps are more difficult than they will be, but from experience, I know the brain is exaggerating. Raising risk is the brain’s job, so let it do its thing, you do yours.
