I think it's okay to procrastinate through something that's s really boring. For the last week I've been wrestling with Webpack because I've told myself that I should really be better at frontend stuff, and Webpack has been blocking me in just including stylesheets, JavaScript, fonts, and including a third party theme. It's not that hard, but it's really boring & frustrating to figure out, and the documentation for static assets in the web framework is quite stale. When. I do start working on it, my attention span wants to go elsewhere pretty fast.

After a week of chipping away at it as I had time and interest, today it clicked and I started to get it. Sticking with it was key. You have to decide for yourself whether whatever you want to learn is worth the pain, but I think it is useful to learn to stick with things long enough to figure them out.
