Most of us underestimate our own skills because we can’t remember how long it took to build them. After enough years, intuition takes over. You solve things fast, almost without thinking. And once something feels effortless, you assume it must be effortless for everyone else. But that is the lie our brain loves to tell.
Intuition hides the work you put in. It hides the reps, the late nights, the dead ends, and the stupid mistakes that taught you the important lessons. And when that happens, you start calling valuable skills “basic” and you stop sharing them because you think nobody needs them.
They do. What feels routine to you is a breakthrough for someone else. The things you dismiss are often the exact things others are desperate to learn. So whenever something feels “too obvious” to talk about, write it down anyway. That’s usually where your real expertise lives.
