You can skip songs on a playlist. You can’t skip steps on the way to being good.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Getting good is sequential. Each stage builds the thing the next stage needs, and jumping ahead leaves a hole that shows up later as a ceiling you cannot explain, usually right where the material stops being forgiving. Feeling impatient about it is completely normal, and it does not shorten the road by a single step.

Work out where you are genuinely solid rather than where you wish you were. Go back one level and get that clean. It feels like losing ground and it is the fastest way through.
