Started my @_MathAcademy_ journey as an adult learner this past Monday. It's been exciting so far rehashing some essential math. The XP and leaderboard stats has also made it very addictive to say the least. Started off in the Iron League π. Need to more MA folks here
Training for 30 high-intensity minutes each day will yield 2x the training volume as compared to a weekly 3.5-hour training session where each consecutive 30-minute segment is only 75% as productive as the previous.

@fepdev@justinskycak Welcome aboard!
The way to be successful is to create a daily habit of learning. Looks like you've started already, which is great! Keep it up.
Yes, you can learn some surface-level stuff about a subject by playing around. No, it's not nearly as efficient as committing to serious, guided, deliberate practice. No, the play did not speed up your learning process.
Say a subject takes 100h to learn. Say you play around for 100h beforehand, watching videos and tinkering. And then you commit to serious study and it takes you 75h instead of 100h. You perceive that you learned the subject faster but really you spent 175h instead of 100h.
Maybe you're okay with that, maybe the play was necessary to get you to commit to serious practice. You can have good reasons for engaging in play before committing, I'm not arguing against that.
But you *can't* just ignore the opportunity cost and claim that the play sped up your learning process.
If you spent all those 175h on serious practice then you would have gone 1.75x as far. What you really did was trade a large amount of play for a small amount of practice, and then leave the play time out of your learning efficiency calculation.
