How do you know when it's time to stop watching tutorials and start working on a project?

When you're learning something new, there's always another tutorial or technique you could check out. But at what point do you stop gathering information and actually try things on your own? I'm curious how beginners know when they've learned enough to get started, even if they're still figuring things out along the way.

At some point, you just have to try it yourself. You might understand the steps while watching someone else do them, but it's a different experience when you're the one figuring things out. Making mistakes along the way is part of learning, and you'll probably remember more from actually doing the work than watching another tutorial.
