What is a realistic first 3-week plan for learning?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

Anecdote beats theory here.

I needed the reminder to start smaller.

Can you expand on that a bit?

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

Big fan of this approach. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result.

@curious-32 This is the kind of disagreement I like.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

@marauderPilot89 Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. For me it came down to the prototype.
