Understanding Your Thinking Style and Learning

What is your thinking and learning style?

Based on my self assessment, I believe that my thinking style is definitely more concrete sequential. I definitely feel that I think in a more linear and logical way, which means that I tend to read and understand the material first before trying. The way that my brain processes is that I need to truly understand the concept and what I am doing before actually doing it.
My learning style follows a multimodal learning preference. I definitely need to read and understand the subject first. Also, I am very visual in the sense that I need to see how things work and understand the "why" before I fully understand and grasp the material
The good thing is that I do have Growth Mindset. I like to learn and challenge myself. My personal goal is to always constantly strive to improve myself. I know that I don't know everything and I am completely open to feedback and criticism. I truly feel that in order to improve, you need to identify and understand your flaws and figure out way to improve.

My biggest struggle thus far has been trying to balance reading thru all the material and understanding everything vs. understanding just enough to work thru the weekly challenges. Thus far, I have leaned toward the latter and just understanding enough due to time constraint because of my work load with Phase 0 and my daily full time job
I have been struggling to spread out the challenges throughout the week due to traveling for work. My goal and approach to Phase 0 has been to work 2-3 per day, but in the past couple of weeks, I have been traveling a lot for work and as result, it has been relatively difficult to maintain a steady schedule.

Ideally, I would like to sit down and read thru all the material and truly understand all the concepts before tackling the challenges. However, due to my work schedule and time constraint, I have been skimming thru the material and just reading and researching just enough to do the challenges
Mainly, the struggle has been juggling the right balance of time and effort to learning the material between Phase 0, full time job, and traveling for work.
Fortunately, I am pretty flexible and can adapt. So, I think that I have been doing a fairly decent job keeping up with the weekly challenges while learning the concept and materials more or less. If I had more time, I definitely would spend more time on the challenges, but I have accepted that for Phase 0, my goal is to learn the material and be comfortable with the material to tackle the challenges while not trying to understand everything. It's a little bit against my principle, but I definitely learned and realized that I need to maintain a healthy balance.

I definitely see the benefit of learning by pairing with others in my accountability team. It's a more streamline way of learning and in many ways, it's more productive and we can learn from each other. I will try to do more pairing sessions each week.
I will also try to leverage the available tutor hours to better understand the concepts or ideas that I am struggling with.
Continue to be very structure and maintain a steady schedule where I am spending between 2-3 hours per day on Phase 0. I find myself less stressful and more refresh trying to learn materials in a 2-3 hour block rather than trying to cram everything within a few days and stressing out.
