Practice itself is a learned skill.

When you practice, it fits into one of two categories:

1. Something you’re already good at (or understand) and try to get better.
2. Something you’re not that good at (or don’t understand) and need to get better.

The first is the kind of practice people like and the second the kind they avoid. The first gets most of the attention and the second the least. This approach to practice leads people to autopilot and resistance. Skills don’t expand. Growth slows. Performance plateaus.

Things you’re already good at need refinement and advancement. You practice to maintain a capability. Things you’re not that good at need lots of reps and observation. You practice to acquire a capability.

The attention, time, and energy you invest in each category is your first practice decision. Make sure you practice in the right area for the results you want.

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
