## Pro-Tip 💡

It is ok to skip through content. If you are halfway through a video, or book and you realise there might be resources better suited for what you are looking for and your level of expertise, it is ok to not finish the resource. 

A lot of times, we feel in some way obliged to keep giving our attention. Your time and attention is probably your scarcest resource — spend it wisely.

The beauty of free and open-source content is that skipping content not involved with much opportunity cost.
