How Did You Find Yourself More Proficient and Competent?

When i started editing my own footage, it just changed. I felt so much more satisfied and fulfilled when i had it all in my brain while the shooting was happening. There's something else like, now that i've got that technical stuff down, which i always resisted. But now that ie allowed myself to get the technical stuff really down, maybe it's like driving a car,. All of a sudden i'm not thinking as much in my analytical brain, but i'm trusting tot energy.
