Understanding Automaticity
- Automaticity means a skill becomes part of who you are, not just something you can do.
- Overlearning a skill helps your conscious mind free up resources and perform more effectively.
Overtrain and Challenge Skills
- Overtrain skills by repetitive practice beyond initial mastery and increase task difficulty.
- Add time constraints and distractions during practice to simulate real conditions and challenge working memory.
Motivation Shifts with Mastery
- Mastering a skill shifts motivation from extrinsic to intrinsic when belief in growth replaces fixed intelligence.
- This internal shift makes you want to do the skill, aligning heart and mind for deeper engagement.
