The key to deep practice is to constantly reach just a little bit beyond your abilities. Keep experimenting.ĭon’t neglect the foundational hard skills, they provide the base that you build everything else on. To build soft skills, always find new ways to challenge your abilities and push yourself. If something can have a coach, then it’s likely a hard skill. Soft is things like storytelling, hard is things like grammar. Too much luxury might make you think you already succeeded. Steal concrete facts about how experts perform, watch them closely and see what you can make your own. Spend 15 minutes a day “engraving” the skill on your brain by perfectly copying the work of an expert, whether that’s replaying a famous chess game or re-writing a famous book. Put it right in front of you where you’ll constantly be reminded of it. Create a “windshield” of images and videos that symbolize where you want to be in life, and remind yourself of it daily.
