I think it's okay to procrastinate through something that's s really boring. For the last week I've been wrestling with Webpack because I've told myself that I should really be better at frontend stuff, and Webpack has been blocking me in just including stylesheets, JavaScript, fonts, and including a third party theme. It's not that hard, but it's really boring & frustrating to figure out, and the documentation for static assets in the web framework is quite stale. When. I do start working on it, my attention span wants to go elsewhere pretty fast.
After a week of chipping away at it as I had time and interest, today it clicked and I started to get it. Sticking with it was key. You have to decide for yourself whether whatever you want to learn is worth the pain, but I think it is useful to learn to stick with things long enough to figure them out.

When you learn to channel that energy you're dumping into negative thinking into just learning it slower than you'd like, you'll feel so much better.
