Deliberate Practice
The idea comes from the book “The Magic of Thinking BIG”
Dr. Schwartz makes a point that just persistence is not enough.
Each time you try (and not succeed) learn from it, and change something (experimentation) only this will lead to (eventual) success.
I tried to show this visually by having different styles the word Try is drawn in the bottom half (but also wrote experimentation - just to be clear 😄)
Initially I was going to just use the word Failure in red. But it seemed negative, so I wrote it in light color and replaced it with “No Success”
Few things I learnt/noticed:
Whiteboard is just that. Infinite canvas cum whiteboard.
There is no “export”, so I had to take a screenshot. (No big deal, but still ..)
Also, the Text tool is available only in the paid plan.
There is no “paste” either. So I added the date and my name in Preview app after I took the screenshot. 😄
Software : Whiteboard 1
About the Topic of Deliberate Practice itself.
Deliberate Practice was made popular in the context of 10000 hour rule. 2
10000 hours of same things does not make you an expert.
Unless one is paying attention to what/how they are practicing.
The word Deliberate means knowingly.
It says don’t just practice mindlessly (for 10000 hours)
Add variations (and try and fix mistakes done/detected earlier)
Dr. Schwartz knew it well before (1959) K. Anders Ericsson wrote a paper about it in 1991
