Summary

When the learning curve is overwhelming (especially with technology), these 5 guiding principles can help:

Start with the outcome you want to achieve, and choose the best tool accordingly (rather than vice versa).
Approach technology as a tool to support learning, not the focus of the learning itself.
Use tech to enhance, not dominate, what you're already doing.
Use what you love and don't abandon what works for the next shiny new thing.
Be willing to learn through experimentation rather than a formal training.

Listen in on this encouraging, motivating episode that reminds you how to shift focus away from the overwhelming array of options and things you DON'T know how to do, and recenter on what you DO know.
