What Kristin said is absolutely correct, and no questions are silly. It’s silly not to ask when you have thousands of people at your fingertips who have been doing this thing for longer than you!
Just jump in and try the challenge of the day! If it seems too tough to even attempt a measure or 2, then perhaps go to Monday’s challenge of the same week. Don’t worry about how much you can do or how many whole daily challenges you can go through. I always try to find “nuggets”: a nugget could be a thing that I learned or a small win of some kind. Maybe I surprised myself because when I heard Tony play and then looked at the TAB, it seemed so overwhelming but then it became doable! Some days you might discover a big win. Some days, and I’m quoting Tony here, your win might be that “you showed up”.It really helps to share your experiences in the Forums where you can get feedback. Also it can be useful to record your thoughts some place where you can access them again after you have forgotten them. I use Microsoft OneNote, I download the TABS and paste them into the Notes and record my comments there also. When the challenge comes around again I’ll have my past experiences to compare to.
You know Tony made a really interesting point in today’s challenge: if the challenge comes under your fingers quickly, that doesn’t mean you just made huge progress. When you are really challenged and start to think I can’t play a lick right now, it’s all too hard and you just want to give it up for the day, that’s when you need to push on and go a little further in because there’s a nugget just a little bit deeper in this mine; just a few more strokes of the hammer and the pick!
Those times it comes easy, that’s you reaping the rewards of past challenges
