Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m still decoding this material piece by piece every time, like a beginner reading letter by letter, when I want the recurring bits to fuse into one instant unit so my head has room left over for the harder thinking.
- I’ve put in the hours but I still meet every problem in my field like it’s brand new, working it out from scratch
- I recognize the pattern fine now
- I keep running into the same setup in my field but I have no name for it, so every time I have to laboriously piece it back together from its parts instead of just calling it one thing and moving on.
- I’m sure I know this stuff cold when I’m quiet and focused reviewing it, but the second I have to recall it while juggling something else or under any pressure, it just slips away on me.
