# It's OK to Learn Programming Slower 🐌

## Summary

Learn to program for the sake of learning to program. Work in shorter increments and make use of tools like white noise machines and pomodoro timers. Be curious and have a sense of adventure! The only reason you will get angry when you stumble with a topic is because you're in a rush.

> I think this applies to learning anything, we live in an instant world. Just stop and remind yourself to enjoy the experience, frustration or success, it's all part of growing.

> My journey with programming started in 2015 and I found my first freelance job as a developer in 2019. Sometimes I thought that I’m too slow, but now understand it’s just my way and there is nothing to regret about. At the end you will end up with your goals completed when making enough effort, so just keep doing.
