Can’t do
(but need to)

Imagine you put three posters on the wall, one for each of
three skill categories: Can’t do, Can do With Effort, and
Mastered. Now imagine you make a sticky note for each skill
you need to master for that domain.

“Can’t do” to “Can do.” But “Can do” comes in two avors: with
conscious effort (not reliable) and mastered (reliable/automatic).
