When I want to jump into a new interest, I usually spend a chunk of time at the beginning watching videos or grazing thru a manual.

Even if I don't "get" everything yet -- knowing that Final Cut can do "X, Y, Z" and it's somewhere in the middle of the manual -- can be useful in removing some of the early frustration in the learning process.



This is very much how my brain works too, and I wonder if it's prevalent at all.

I'll know something is possible, and vaguely know what the technique is called, and I will be able to incorporate that knowledge into my thinking.

Then whenever it is time to build stuff, there's a lot of very specific googling to lay down a strong foundation of a solution.
