When I was trying to learn Photoshop, I made a painful mistake that costed me years of time and effort.

I would spend hours every single day trying to learn Photoshop by watching YouTube tutorials, and it felt like my work was barely improving.

In fact, it wasn't improving.

This was incredibly frustrating and demotivating because I spent

so much time trying to learn this software and I had nothing to show for it.

This was my experience for years until I completely changed my learning strategy, and once I did, my progress skyrocketed and completely changed my life.

In one year, I went from making cringe -worthy images to having my own

creative business amassing tens of thousands of followers who like my work.

Here's exactly how I did it.

so when most people start their journey of learning photoshop their first move is to start watching tutorials on youtube

which is exactly what i did i go to youtube look up photoshop tutorial

and i'd scroll through the results until an impressive looking thumbnail caught my eye I'd go through the video

and follow each and every step to the T and I would make the final product perfectly.

So I kept doing this over and over and over again, nailing it each and every time.

Feeling pumped up, I'd finally start to work on my own personal project and it was horrible.

It was frustrating because I saw such amazing results when I followed tutorials, but my own work honestly made me cringe.

My reasoning for these outcomes was that I just hadn't watched enough tutorials

so i would restart the process

and inevitably get the same results i kept going through the same loop over

and over again until eventually i made a huge change i

stopped watching tutorials don't get me wrong i think there is a time

and place for tutorials but the reason i was seeing no progress was

because i was trying to absorb information just for the sake

of absorbing information i had nothing to apply it to i'd follow a tutorial

and learn how to get from a to B, but when I started my own work, I didn't even have an A to start with.

What you really want to do is start with an idea.

Open Photoshop with an end goal in mind and let yourself get stuck.

For example, maybe you want to cut someone out of a photo, so you try using a specific tool and it doesn't work at all.

That is when you look for a tutorial of how to cut someone out.

That way, you're actively listening and applying what you learned.

You have to get that information to stick because otherwise you'll never get over that obstacle.

The idea behind this strategy is

that you want to start making something with a goal in mind

and deliberately find things that you don't know how to do.

This will prompt you to search for those answers.

This also forces you to focus on step 1 instead of

trying to cram step 1 to 100 in your head all at once.

Honestly, I don't think following tutorials is a bad thing at the very beginning, but I do think your goal should be to get off of them as soon as possible.

Watching tutorials without an end goal in mind is actually a lot like driving somewhere.

You could look at a map and memorize every turn and street name, but when you get into the car to leave, it's extremely unlikely you'd know how to even get to your destination.

It's only after driving towards your end goal do you really learn what the route is.

You take wrong turns, you subconsciously notice buildings and points of interest that you drive by, and you get a sense of how long it takes to get there.

It's the exact same idea as when you're learning Photoshop.

You need to start and then learn.

Don't learn and then start.

I think that when I started learning Photoshop, I didn't realize that learning came from failure.

Following a tutorial using these perfect images to create this very specific effect wasn't giving me enough failure

or any obstacles for me to overcome.

Doing this will force you to retain more information and build up your muscle memory on how the software works.

But anyone who's ever gotten serious about learning something new knows that doing the actual work is only half the battle.

The most difficult part for most people is just opening the software and start it.

Holding on to that initial motivation to keep learning is probably where most people fail.

Fortunately, it doesn't have to be.

Beginning the process of learning something can honestly be a huge uphill battle.

We have to consciously memorize information, do research on simple tasks, and will inevitably spend tons of time going down the wrong path.

This is also paired with the aspect of constantly being disappointed with your final product.

I mean, the reason we start learning something like Photoshop is almost always because we're inspired by something.

You'll be scrolling through Instagram, Behance, or ArtStation, and some amazing piece of work will catch your eye.

You think, I want to do that, and feel so motivated to get to that goalpost where you can make something as cool as that.

In the learning process, you work so hard to create different things over and over and over again.

time chipping away at your initial motivation every single time thoughts

start filling your mind like maybe this just isn't my thing

or maybe this is a waste of time after all time

is our most precious resource every minute we lose we'll never get back the days

or weeks or months you spend learning something that you won't stick with

or will never pay off by definition will be a waste of your time and really a waste of your life

That got kind of dark, but what I'm saying is probably relatable to anyone trying to learn something new like Photoshop.

I personally went through the exact same process and I can confidently say

that learning is not what creates that soul -crushing grind.

It's your learning strategy.

Before I tell you how to learn faster and more effectively, I think it's really important to understand why learning something like Photoshop can be grindy and tough.

To do that, will compare to something that's definitely not grindy

and tough games

when we play games whether that's a video game a board game a game on the playground

or a drinking game with friends you don't really feel

that uphill battle that's because games are fun but why do we find them fun

and why are certain games considered fun while others aren't this is

because of something called gamification now we could go pretty deep on the concept of gamification

but the main thing that want to highlight is the fact

that something is considered fun based on their challenge to reward ratio

when something is too challenging it's not fun

but the same goes for something that's too easy an activity

or game is considered fun when it delicately runs the line between challenging

and easy for example throwing a ball in the direction of

someone isn't really fun at all the same could be said

if you were to try

and play catch with someone with your eyes closed it'd be too hard

and you'd almost never catch the ball playing catch is fun throwing

and catching the ball effectively is the challenge and doing

so successfully is the reward so to make something like photoshop less grindy

and tough you need to make it fun to do

that you need to make things in photoshop

that are easy enough for you to complete

but are also difficult enough to actually force you to put some effort into it to succeed

so trying to copy that amazing piece of artwork

that initially inspired you to start learning photoshop will most likely

be way too hard for it to be fun what you want to look for is something

that inspires you

but also feels just out of your capabilities personally the best

100

way i've accomplished this is by creating a library of other people's work

101

that i can either copy for practice

102

or create my own variation of in my spare time i'll scroll through websites like pinterest instagram artstation

103

or behance and constantly be liking and saving anything that inspires me or I feel is just out of my capabilities.

104

I do this constantly when I'm waiting for an appointment on the toilet or just when I need a break from work.

105

See when I started learning Photoshop half of the battle was just maintaining the motivation to just open up the program.

106

When you start learning something new that motivation is pretty strong

107

but after so many inevitable failures and obstacles that initial motivation starts to fade.

108

Making the learning process fun helps maintain that intrinsic motivation

109

but for most people making the process fun 100 % of the time might be unrealistic.

110

This is why we need to maximize each type of motivation

111

so that we have as many forces as possible pushing us to learn and improve.

112

There's actually six different types of motivation but for the sake of not making this video 99 % about motivation types, we'll just focus on 3.

113

Intrinsic, extrinsic, and identified motivation.

114

Intrinsic motivation is when you're motivated to do something because you inherently find it meaningful to you and it brings you joy.

115

This is another aspect as to why making a learning process fun is so important.

116

When something is fun to you, that force that's pulling you away from photoshop trying to convince

117

you to play video games instead is much weaker external motivation is

118

when you don't necessarily want to do something

119

but you have something outside of your personal desires pushing you to do

120

so this can either be a reward you'll receive for accomplishing the task

121

or a punishment

122

that you're avoiding it's the cliche carrot on a stick type

123

of motivation now we don't necessarily want to start integrating punishments

124

into our life especially is something that's supposed to be fun like photoshop

125

but i do think

126

that creating a reward system is perfect for any type of creative work here are two ways

127

that i maximize external motivation the first way i do this is with social media everyone knows

128

that these social media platforms are hooking us in by constantly

129

rewarding us with dopamine even though this can have a negative effect on our wellbeing.

130

We can actually change how we interact with these platforms so that they help us instead of hurt us.

131

I started posting my work on Instagram, Twitter, ArtStation, and sometimes Behance.

132

If you want to just use one, I'd definitely stick with Instagram as you get a lot more feedback that way.

133

The more I posted, the more my engagement and follower count grew.

134

Eventually, I created a schedule where I would try to post another piece of artwork every week to stay consistent.

135

The external motivation reward came from the positive feedback and dopamine I was receiving whenever I gained a follower,

136

received a positive comment, or some of my work got a lot of likes.

137

Society always kind of puts a negative light on the idea of doing something for positive attention through social media,

138

but I think as long as you don't let the lack of positive attention affect you

139

and you don't compare yourself to others, I think you're safe.

140

Just remember that you're posting your work to help you learn.

141

You're not learning to post your work.

142

The second way I receive external motivation is through client work.

143

Now if you're just starting to learn photoshop this type of motivation might take a

144

while to build up

145

but I think it'd be a great idea to make it kind of a goal for yourself to find clients.

146

I know freelance work isn't for everyone and

147

if you honestly have no desire to do it then that's totally okay

148

but I think freelance work is an awesome type of external motivation for a lot of reasons

149

when someone is paying you money to make something for them

150

there's actually a lot of different things pushing you to finish a project

151

since there's an exchange of value you end up wanting to put more effort into

152

that project so

153

that your client feels like their money was well spent also there's always almost some type of deadline

154

that the project needs to be finished by personally i've also found that

155

when i'm creating a piece of digital art for a client

156

their requests often push me outside of my comfort zone

157

and force me to learn things

158

that i don't already know how to do maybe a lot of you will relate to this

159

but i feel like sometimes when i'm working on a personal project

160

and i have to do something time consuming

161

or difficult sometimes i just won't do it but

162

when someone is literally paying you to do it you can't

163

really avoid it finally the third type of motivation we want to optimize is identified motivation.

164

This is when you're motivated to do something because it relates to something that's important to you.

165

In this case, learning Photoshop is the thing that would be important to you.

166

The way I optimize this type of motivation is by creating a routine.

167

Every morning at 7am, I'd wake up

168

and immediately start working on my personal projects in Photoshop until I started my full -time job at 9am.

169

Now you don't necessarily have to work on Photoshop for three hours every morning

170

but you should definitely create a daily routine

171

that works for you whether that's working on photoshop for 15 minutes before bed

172

or for two hours before work as long as you get

173

that minimum amount of practice

174

that you set for yourself i promise you will see huge improvements as long as you stay consistent

175

that daily practice will have a compounding effect

176

and your skills will skyrocket having a daily routine like this

177

is one of the strongest ways to keep yourself motivated through

178

the learning process although you might not feel like you want

179

to open photoshop every single day the motivation to stick to

180

your routine is what's pushing you forward kind of like brushing your teeth i personally hate brushing my teeth

181

but i do it twice a day every single day

182

because it's just part of my routine sticking with your daily

183

routine of learning photoshop over time will yield you the exact

184

same perspective a few years ago i thought where i am now with digital art

185

and photoshop was completely unattainable i thought it was for people who are naturally talented

186

or super creative

187

but in reality those thoughts are only symptoms of my brain trying to discourage me from doing something difficult

188

and challenging i feel like a lot of people

189

that are on the same journey as i am trying to

190

learn a creative skill can probably relate to this i made this video in hopes

191

that i could share my experiences and knowledge in hopes

192

that you guys don't have to make the exact same mistakes

193

that i did i'm going to be putting the upload date

194

of my next video in the banner of my channel as well as promote it on like instagram

195

and twitter and stuff like that but if you want a notification for

196

when my next video comes out when you subscribe if you click the bell button then i'll send you a notification, and you'll know right away.

197

Okay, thank you for watching the video.

198

See ya.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
