This NY Times piece reinforces a number of themes from my Pragmatic Thinking & Learning book:
- There is no expertise without experience
- It takes something on the order of ten years/ 10,000 hours of practice to be expert in a field
- Deliberate, thoughtful practice is what makes the difference—not just going through the motions.
- Practice doesn't make perfect, but it does make permanent: neuroplasticity will cause your brain to re-wire itself according to what you do.
This weekend is a good time to start...
