# list of deliberate exercises

# # Preface

I have been reading the book "deliberate practice" in recent days, and I have benefited a lot from some of the concepts and methodologies in the book. "deliberate practice" is a set of effective learning methods suitable for skills in any field. When learning a skill, it is very effective to get as close to the principle of "deliberate practice" as possible. Here, combined with my own learning experience, I summarize the core concepts and methodologies that are generally applicable to you and share them with you in the form of a "list".

# # 1

Don't believe the so-called "talent". Don't believe that you are not born to be good at certain areas and think that you are not that material. This perception will hurt you. Any skill as long as you master the correct method of learning (deliberate practice), you can become a master and expert.

# # 2

Don't believe the so-called "21-day xxx from beginner to proficiency" bullshit. The learning of any skill requires a lot of time of high-quality practice in order to master it. Give up the idea of "mastering it for a short time". But there are ways to get started.

# # 3

Deliberate practice principle 1: your practice activities must break through the comfort zone, the practice outside the comfort zone can make you progress, simple repetition in the comfort zone is meaningless, even after 10000 hours of practice. This is crucial. What is the comfort zone? It is the skill area where you are already proficient and easy to do. For example, the taxi driver's driving skills will not be improved any more, because all his exercises take place in the comfort zone.

Deliberate practice principle 2: each exercise must have a clear, specific, goal of breaking through the comfort zone. I don't understand? First, this goal is clear enough to judge whether you are up to the standard, yes or no at the end of your practice. Second, this goal is specific to a specific aspect, not too comprehensive, too big, big goals should be broken down into specific small goals. For example: cross dribbling in basketball dribbling decomposition exercises. Third, the goal to break through the comfort zone, that is, the goal must be through your repeated practice to achieve the goal, not you can easily achieve the goal now, it is worth noting that the goal is not too difficult, each goal should just break through the comfort zone.

# # 5

Deliberate practice principle 3: every practice activity must devote 100% attention, and remember not to be half-hearted. Only with fully engaged practice can it be easy to establish a complete psychological representation and practice can be effective. Ways to keep your attention: first, get enough sleep. Second, the individual practice period should not be too long, keep it within an hour, or less.

# # 6

Deliberate practice principle 4: there should be timely feedback for each exercise. The key to rapid progress is that the right and wrong in the process of practice can be found and corrected in time. It's better if you have a professional coach or mentor to monitor you. If not, you should be very sensitive to your activities and be aware of your actions right and wrong in time (this requires your metacognitive ability, which will be discussed in an article later). Setting clear and specific practice goals will help you get timely feedback.

# # 7

The principle behind deliberate practice is to establish high-quality psychological representation through repeated actions. What is psychological representation? Outstanding people in various fields are outstanding because they have established high-quality psychological representations in this field. When an idea or a scene occurs inside or outside you, the psychological structure corresponding to your heart is the psychological representation. Simple example: for example, when you see the word "Mona Lisa", you will immediately see that famous oil painting in your mind. The main purpose of deliberate practice is to establish a high-quality and effective psychological representation, so as to make an effective and high-quality response quickly without thinking, which is the performance of a master.

# # Summary

So, don't think you don't have talent, and don't be superstitious about "21-day success". You can learn any skill as long as you master the correct and effective learning method. You have to believe that there is a reason behind everything, and there is a way for everything. Maybe you just haven't found it yet.
