Duckworth calls this “deliberate practice,” and it’s how experts separate themselves. The quantity of time needed to become an expert is obvious. But the quality of that practice is just as important.
Duckworth says experts train themselves in very specific, mindful ways. They force themselves into situations where they are confused or where they must operate on a cliff beyond their comfort level.
Deliberate practice also involves “repetitive mastery.” There’s a point at which the margin of progress becomes so small, so hard to see, that most people take it as a sign to stop. But experts carry on anyway. The payoff comes from doing that for a long time, even when the feedback and rewards aren’t obvious.
“People who are committed to deliberate practice,” Duckworth said, “will do whatever it takes to keep crawling up the learning curve.”
