The Challenge What Experts Do
Science of Badass Building Skills
Practice makes permanent.
Most practice doesn’t guarantee better performance.
Most practice locks-in whatever is practiced.
We must help our users spend as little time as possible
practicing being a beginner at the bigger context (and our tool).
Now we have a big problem: what happens when you’re still
in the Suck Zone? How can you practice being better than you
actually are? We’ll get into that later in the book.
The more time we spend
practicing mediocre,
the better we get at...
being mediocre.
How does Deliberate Practice
help prevent mediocre lock-in?
