You’re right about watching the videos through more than once. What also works for me is to watch the whole course through once (not in a single sitting, that’s wild), and then go back to the beginning and follow along with each video – that way I am at least familiar with what is being discussed and shown. You might already do it this way too, but if not I’d suggest giving it a try! Or atleast watch a whole chapter through and then go back and follow along!
When I first started, I would pause the video and follow each and every step while watching for the first time (and not watch them a second time) and I actually found I wasn’t remembering anywhere near enough.
Just some food for thought!
