Buy that online course or book and finish Chapter 1
Why this matters
The most expensive part of any course is the week you spend still choosing it.
What to do
Take the exact course or book you have been putting off for months, and do not go looking for a newer, better one: you know which one it is. Buy it today and immediately — another week of comparing options is simply a way of not starting. Block four hours in the calendar as an appointment, not as when I get around to it. Do the first chapter properly, with the exercises, not by skimming: without practice the chapter does not count. Write down questions rather than notes — those are what you follow next. Before you close the laptop, put the date for chapter two in the calendar.
Afterwards
What was really holding me back all this time — money, time, or the fear of being a bad student?
