A state of perpetual [learning](learning-is-the-single-best-investment-that-you-can-make-for-your-time.md), often marked by the consumption of one tutorial after another without putting acquired knowledge into practice.

# How to Escape Tutorial Hell

* Start a mini-project using what you’ve learned, even if it’s imperfect.
* Allow yourself to get stuck and search for solutions independently.
* Alternate between learning and doing. For every hour spent on a tutorial, spend an hour building or experimenting.
* After finishing a tutorial, summarize what you learned and try to explain it in your own words or teach someone else.
