Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I jump straight to the worked answer to save time, and it always looks obvious in hindsight
• I always jump straight to the worked example or the solution before I’ve even tried the problem myself, and the explanation never really lands
• Whenever I hit something new I reach straight for the tutorial before I’ve even tried it myself, and I’m starting to wonder if grabbing the answer that fast is exactly why none of it ever sticks
• I’m brand new to this and they’ve thrown me straight at problems I have no clue how to start, so I just sit there guessing and backtracking and getting nowhere
• I always read the answer or the worked solution first because sitting there not knowing feels uncomfortable and pointless
