Learning Vim

I'll simplify the process and probably come back to this later, but what I did to learn vim for the first time was as follows:

Accept that I was going to be very slow and frustrated
Watch a couple of videos and read a bunch of resources to get a feel for the shortcuts and movements.
Courage to get into the next step
Activated vim mode (or vim motions) on my main text editor (at the time, VS Code)
Painfully researching every repetitive movement and finding ways to optimize
Downloaded neovim
Started setting up time to mess around using neovim and taking notes of what I was missing
Setup nvimChad (made my life a lot easier)
after getting used to nvimchad I decided to build my own neovim config.
Watched Tons of videos + experience from a couple of months on the previous steps
learned a bit of LUA to make my configurations.
