How to learn fast when feedback is slow

When you start learning a new skill, you will need feedback more than anything. Â Â Hi , When you start learning a new skill, you will need feedback more than anything. The feedback will guide you. It will reveal the weaknesses you need to work on. The faster you can get it, the faster you'll learn. But sometimes, feedback can be slow. Take gardening for example. It's a slow process. You need to seed the plants and then wait for them to grow. It will take a few months to see the results. Now compare that to programming. When you write computer code, the results are almost instant. Just like that, you get feedback. And you can try again... And again. In a single day, you can learn a lot by trying and failing at different things. It doesn't matter that programming is a complex skill. Because fast feedback makes it easier to learn. But there are not many skills like that. In most cases, feedback is slower. It doesn't happen instantly. So how can you learn anything fast when feedback is sometimes slow? The short answer: find a mentor. Mentors need to be at least a step ahead of you. They've been there and done that. They can give you feedback WHILE you're doing the work. So you don't have to wait for results. Now imagine this, ... You start practicing a musical instrument. Maybe a guitar. You learn the basics. And, at one point, you get your first gig in a local bar. Naturally, you'd be nervous. You've never performed in front of a live audience! You're stepping into the unknown. This is the first time you're going to get real-life feedback as a musician. So far, you've learned how to play the guitar. But live performance is a completely different thing. There are many ways to mess it up. And also, that's where the money is. You need to rock the stage if you want to become a professional. If you fail, you'll have to wait for the next gig. But if you had a mentor... You wouldn't be under so much pressure. You'd be prepared. You'd know what can happen and how to avoid common mistakes. In fact, you'd know how to deal with mistakes. Because mistakes WILL happen. That's the reality of live performance. Instead of waiting for feedback from the audience, you'd get feedback from the mentor before you even step onto the stage. This is how you become confident and skillful very fast. But there's more to fast learning. Feedback has to be not only fast but also accurate and consistent. Besides that, you need to have a learning system.
