Lego manuals don’t let you skip to page forty. Neither does anything worth building.

Steps are ordered because each one holds the next one up. Jump ahead and the piece in your hand has nothing to attach to, so you end up back at the page you skipped, only now with a half-built thing in your lap. Skipping does not remove the step, it moves it later and makes it harder.

Find where you are trying to leap: the song you cannot play slowly, the chapter you are reading over the one you did not do. Go back one page. It will feel like losing ground and it will be faster.
