I have a very serious problem, hope you guys can help
Almost every time I have some skill I need to achieve, there're dozens of various ways to do it. For example you want to learn programming language. Your options:
1) Read one of the dozens of the books
2) Read one of the thousands of courses on the internet
3) Watch one of the millions of videos on youtube
Some courses are better than others but even if we have option (don't usually have) to sort all of them and leave only the best ones, there're still 5+ best courses for every type of skill.
So the question is what to choose. One may say: choose just any one, shouldn't matter. While I can agree what all top courses should be good and all of them should be able to help you reach your goal, there's still one important difference: efficiency.
Unfortunately not all courses are equal: some will make you achieve your goal faster and better, some probably can even do that 10x faster than others. Of course it would be terrible to choose the wrong course even though the great one existed.
You can also say: do several at ones, check which ones work better for you. Unfortunately it's also often a problem, it's pretty hard (at least for me) to be equally focused on a multiple things at once. Once I committed for some single course that seemed to be good, I can't really consider alternative courses equally. I will also worry that I made the wrong choice, discovering that during reading the alternative course, so I stick to a single one.
So how to solve that? This really kills me. I'm afraid I'm doing the wrong thing all the time but it's not easy to choose alternative way either
