Don’t be fooled by the size of this article. Things are already complicated as they are. No need for a verbal surplus. Let’s cut straight to it. To master a skill, you need two things: consistency and guidance.
You need to consistently practice the skill you aim to master, day in and day out. In parallel, you must actively ensure you’re improving in the right direction.
If your goal is to master the art of Italian cuisine, you need a bona fide Italian chef who will oversee your progress, check your form, and correct your mistakes.
Individuals that have already mastered the skill you are trying to master are your best resources. They’re there to make sure you’re not wasting your time by “wrongfully” practicing your skill.
What if I can’t afford a coach or a mentor, you ask? The next best thing is the internet and online communities. Seek guidance from those with experience. Don’t try to hash it out on your own. When you’re consistently putting in your reps and have someone there to check and make sure you’re using good form, you’re positively and most definitely on your way to mastering any skill.
