Several factors help me.
Firstly: I have already written about thirty scripts and my goal is to start producing animations based on written texts.
So, the first one is: set a goal.
Secondly: do classes every day. No excuses, just develop a habit to do these classes and devote maximum time to it. That has to be your daily routine.
Thirdly: make short notes during each course.
The more information I learn, the more I forget. In order to assimilate the maximum of the material, I make short notes of interesting techniques, decisions, actions (it’s absolutely not necessary to record everything).
Just basic things so I’d easily freshen up the material and all the tricks.
And the last one: watching the best of industry. Always compare yourself with the best and strive to surpass them.
