Why Classes Here Are Showing Me So Much

Sometimes I get so busy doing the things that I'm already good at that I don't do anything here with the classes or training. I bet there are a lot of people like me.

But I proved myself wrong this week.

I thought, "What the heck, I'll just sign up for Jay's series of 14 case-study classes. If I don't learn much after a while, I will stop."

Well... in three classes so far, I have picked up three really good tips. Sure, I do know most of the basics that he covers, so I can have a snack or play with the dog while watching. I turn the speed up to 1.25 in the settings menu at the lower right of the video screen. He sounds a little hyper but I think that suits him.

I keep note-taking software open. Personally, I have the habit of using Scrivener but anything you can write in is fine.

I often copy and paste the lists of what he will cover. Sometimes I look at the list and think I could do all this in my sleep, but umm, not so.

For example, here are things I have learned so far.

• In the first class, Jay mentions that he might sell the site he is making so he won't make it too personal. Oops, that is a mistake I've made repeatedly.
• In the second class, he makes a comment about how he uses Jaaxy that made me say "AHA!"
• In the third class, he warned against a kind of overthinking that I have always done.

Someone else taking the classes (like you?) would learn different things.

Well, I'd better go. I'm curious what I will learn in the next class. And since I hate wearing earphones and share an office with my husband, I have to pick my times.
