I’ve been working with computers for five decades. Some people view me as an “expert” in certain subjects.
And I can tell you that when I am learning a new technology I still feel like the dumbest newb on the planet. I make tons of mistakes. I go down stupid rabbit holes of my own making. I have tons of self doubt.
So give yourself some grace. Everybody goes through this phase. Take a deep breath. Believe that you can do this.
Am learning this also applies to gardening

What really gets me is going away for awhile and coming back. It is astounding what I used to do. I know it can be done but have to look up every little thing. -

@hal_pomeranz Same here. I've been educating people about how to use computers for almost thirty years, and I'm currently procrastinating dealing with the app for the cat box because it makes me feel so stupid.

@hal_pomeranz I love this. What a great reminder. I’ve been doing what I do for about 28 years now. I always tell people that I know a lot about it, but not everything. I learn something new every day.
