I am making step by step courses.

2,738 PointsTo memorise everything in coding is not really important, it's more importen how to look things up if you need it and to have a basic knowledge what possibilities are available and what you need in a specific situation. But sometimes i stuck finding things and my coding is not good and simple organizes. Than i have problems later in the website.

2,738 PointsThe main problem is, i don't want to watch all courses over and over again. It's time intensive and if you know the content already its boring. And not only boring to me, boring for the brain too. To learn something you have to repeat things over and over but everytime you do that you have to do it in a different way that the brain does't know. Same learning material but everytime you repeat it change the way you learn it.

2,738 PointsI pause the videos too and try to think about what i saw and try to repeat it in my head. Taking notes is an option too but sometimes or very often it makes not much sense but it helps to remember things.
