Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- 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 keep making the same kind of mistake and my response is just to "study more" in general, which never fixes it
- I recognize the pattern fine now
- 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’m trying to tackle the big, advanced stuff but I’m still laboring over the basics every single step, so my head is so jammed with the mechanics that there’s no room left to actually see the bigger picture or make the leaps that matter.
