“The real problem adults have vs. kids is available time to spend thinking about things (because they have other responsibilities), not raw learning speed.“ I think this is spot on. As adult you have a big pile of past experiences and responsibilities constantly keeping your mind busy. This makes learning new stuff hard. Lately I have been making an effort to approach things with less worries and baggage. I make an effort to not think “I should be able to do this faster” or “this is useless” but instead just do it without too much thinking.
