Self study trap

1). Breath vs depth trap
Let's do this with example: data science
In data science we have to learn Coding, maths, business sence 
We started with coding and doing really deep into it that we forgot that our main goal is data science 

In this way you get overwhelmed sometimes and just gave up

2). Obsessing over finding the perfect resource
We waste more time on finding best resource that actual studing 

Whereas we sometimes also tend to do is that we do not start learning for enough amount time and try combine things

Start with choosing one resource 

3). Having unrealistic expectations 
We sometimes think that it will practically work but something came can't do 

4). Overcompensating
Let take an example you committed 20 hrs per week for something but end up doing 10 hrs because of some work emergency came then just don't think that I will do 30 hrs work next week because life is life something will again show up you will again be disappointed and end up quitting it

5). Focusing on wrong matrices
Sometimes we think we are not Learn or growing anywhere and we are right but this is like compounding we see results in near future just don't give up
