#3 Becoming Unconsciously Competent: Learning Skills to Automaticity

Automaticity is the ability to complete tasks without occupying the conscious mind. These tasks become an automatic, unconscious response pattern or habit. This episode reveals the benefits of automaticity for learning and the steps required to achieve this goal.

Steps of automaticity:

1. Make a conscious choice to acquire a habit.
2. Focus all your attention on this task and manage all distractions.
3. Repeatedly learn small sets of information.
4. Making your training progressively more difficult. “Slow (careful) is - Smooth is fast.”
5. Decrease the time it takes to complete the task.
6. Practicing doing this task while doing something else.
7. Finally, as Pablo Picasso once said, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”
