I have so much trouble going through courses that contain a lot of stuff I already know. I never know what parts are safe for me to skip. Reading through things I already understand provides zero dopamine and makes me check out. I wish I could filter for the unknown!

hmmm. that's a super interesting idea. I wonder if something like a TL;DR at the start of each section would be effective. Quick way to put eyes on something to see if you need to skip it. Would make a continuing narrative hard (e.g. a running code sample. The TL;DR might cover and fix that too?)

Yeah that's a good idea. I was also thinking like a quiz or something that let you "test out" of certain sections. I dunno, maybe I need to just suck it up and stick through all of it?

a brain-hack I've found for making it through stuff like that is to record it. like full on set up the mic and read the shit through (facecam optional, but screen recording probably). you don't have to do anything with the recording, but the process clicks my brain into a gear that lets me dial in
