Your brain doesn't know you're using a tool.
Which means selecting the right tools and learning to use the tools right is time well spent.

Your brain doesn't know when you're using a tool.
A sword, like in the movies. A violin or guitar. Your keyboard. The app you're using. Your brain doesn't know. If you know how to use the tool, your brain just...acts and does what needs doing.

If you play an instrument or played computer games or ANYTHING ELSE that uses tools, you've likely experienced this.
If you play a melody, you're not thinking "I am using this instrument to replicate the notes on a sheet of paper". You create the melody.

If you play computer games, you're not thinking "I am using WASD on my keyboard to move and the mouse to look and shoot". You move and you shoot.
Of course you need to know the tool well – the first time you swing a tennis racket your brain is definitely not just using the tool to create the perfect serve.
And some tools fit your brain better than others, just like some people gravitate more towards one instrument over another. That's fine. And banter about that choice is fine too (talk to people in orchestra about the trumpets...).
But what really matters is that you pick the tool that makes it easy for you to become one with it, so your brain is free to do.
Become one with the sword.
Become one with the sword.
