Watching one more tutorial feels productive. Sometimes it’s just stalling with better lighting.

Tutorials feel like work because they take effort and produce the sensation of learning with none of the risk of finding out you are bad at something. Watching never fails visibly, so after the fourth video you know more about the subject and still cannot do it. Past a certain point, taking things in is a way of putting off putting anything out.

Use a rough ratio: one video, then an hour of trying it badly. Go back only when you have a specific question you got stuck on. What you learn sticks to problems you actually had.
