Image from "Purposeful practice can change the way you learn." Deliberate practice is the best technique for achieving expert performance in every field—including writing, teaching, sports, programming, music, medicine, therapy, chess, and business. But there’s much more to deliberate practice than 10,000 hours. Read this to learn how to accelerate your learning, overcome the “OK” plateau, turn experience into expertise, and enhance your focus.
What makes practice “deliberate”
- Goals - Has specific, clearly defined goals
- Focused - All other distractions are turned out
- Feedback - Is provided on how the task was executed. Ideally this task is designed or overseen by a coach
- Difficult - The task you are trying to accomplish is out of your comfort zone
-
Mastering "Reality" Requires Practice
- Timeline Zooming: Psychedelics enable this but with limited control. Other practices that expand consciousness from different time periods enable much more controlled experiences.
- Visualization Manifestation: Internal simulation but external influence is possible. If you can imagine it clearly before your "inner" eye, you can manifest it in the "external" reality.

What’s the difference between a Routine and a Ritual? They are both activities we repeat. The difference lies in their purpose:
Routines provide predictability and order, which make it easier to stick to different regimens that help us work efficiently, or protect our health (eg bedtimes or exercise routines).
Ritual activities ensure we take time to nurture what’s most meaningful to us, typically relationships with self, others or our spirituality (eg family dinners or religious ceremonies).
