Not only that, but spend time learning your tools as you use them. If you're like me, reading about a tool for four hours then trying to recall that information while using it is a wasted effort. You have to be continuously learning in increments over weeks, months, and maybe even years. Never stop learning.

It's painful at first, learning something while doing it, because it breaks your flow, it's like constantly being interrupted.

But it's so worth it in the end, +1 for learning while doing.

Also standing behind people and watching them do stuff is good at showing you things ypu didn't know you didn't know.
