Mastery Requires Focus and Clarity

To develop a skill effectively, first determine the seriousness of your intention: if it's just for fun, push yourself in small ways, but if it's serious, seek a coach or mentor for guidance. Choose a specific aspect to master, such as a single musical scale, rather than attempting to improve broadly. Document your progress in a way that allows you to visualize improvements over time, avoiding overly formal methods. Lastly, concentrate on one skill at a time to build momentum before diversifying into other pursuits.
