I'm sure I'm not alone in doing this.
Something catches my attention, & I want to learn more about it.
I immediately jump to the resources that seem to appeal to me.
I try to do it.
I fail.
I give up.
Ad infinitum.
I think there's a word for it: dilettante. A pejorative.
Occasionally, something sticks with me long enough that I learn the basics well enough that they become habits. "know enough to be dangerous".
On a quest now to figure out, mid-life, what motivates me to want to learn something new, and how to learn about it so it sticks.
