1
If you're learning a new skill, especially if it's a complicated skill, you're probably learning that because you need to use that skill to achieve something.
2
And I think it is completely possible for most people to
3
learn a new skill in half the amount of time it
4
normally would have taken them just by cleaning up their approach to skill mastery.
5
So in this video, I want to teach you three strategies that help you reach skill mastery in half the time.
6
These are strategies that I not only teach, but I use myself for any skill that I'm learning.
7
The first point is actually understanding the path of mastery itself.
8
So if you think about learning a new skill, let's say you start here, you're level zero at the skill.
9
You don't know how to do this at all.
10
And you're trying to reach, let's say here, level five.
11
And level five is what we would call mastery.
12
If we define mastery, mastery is when you have accuracy,
13
and you have consistency, and you have fluency.
14
These three components must all exist to have mastery,
15
and they do not develop at the same rates or even with the same mechanisms of practice.
16
And so the path to mastery usually looks like this.
17
From level 0 being like nothing at the skill to getting to level 1,
18
all you're doing is you're trying to achieve basic accuracy.
19
Now, note the wording I used, you're trying to achieve accuracy.
20
So you haven't even achieved accuracy yet.
21
What this means is that you're learning a new skill, you can't do it correctly,
22
and you're trying to figure out how to even just do it correctly for the first time.
23
And so the growth that you see, your indicator of progress at this point, is just self-awareness.
24
You're gaining an understanding about your habits, your processes, how you think about things,
25
the types of mistakes you tend to make and the types of biases you tend to have.
26
And everyone has different mistakes and different biases.
27
On the path of learning a skill, there are a million different mistakes you could make.
28
Each individual is not going to make all 1 million mistakes.
29
They're only going to make 20 of those.
30
And you don't really know which 20 you're going to make until you go out there
31
and actually try and experiment and get real world data.
32
And so in this initial phase on your first step of the path of mastery, as long as you are learning more about the types of mistakes you tend to make,
33
what your process looks like how you tend to do things
34
you are actually making progress you can see that's actually a
35
very already very different way of thinking about progress compared to how most people measure it
36
because most people tend to measure it based on accuracy
37
and fluency straight away if they're not improving in accuracy
38
and they're not getting faster they say that they're not improving
39
and this happens all the time with learning to learn people
40
will join my program they're working through some techniques they're doing
41
it correctly it's taken them a couple weeks of practice they're able to do it correctly
42
but then they stop because it takes too long
43
and they're not recognizing that fluency and speed is something
44
that happens later in your path to mastery not at the beginning
45
and so this is an example of why someone would give up despite making good progress and so at level one
46
you are developing self-awareness where at level zero you did not even have any awareness
47
and another framework of thinking about this sometimes this is called
48
the unconscious incompetence point whereas this at level one is called
49
the conscious incompetence point now after a certain amount of practice you have a certain level of accuracy
50
and now you're able to do it correctly for at least one or two times.
51
A lot of the time we tend to think
52
that now we've learned the skill and so now we should be getting faster.
53
It's still not the case because the next thing that we need to hit off is consistency.
54
That's the next part.
55
So at level two our target that we're aiming for is consistency and your improvement at this point,
56
your indicator of progress is your success rate.
57
Now this is really important because you can't measure a success rate with one attempt.
58
If you measure your progress based on a single attempt, it's just binary.
59
Did you do it accurately or not?
60
And so you might think, yay, I'm improving if you did it correctly.
61
And then if you did it wrong, it's like, oh no, I'm getting worse.
62
That's not accurate.
63
You have to measure it across a certain amount of sample size.
64
This depends on the skill.
65
So let's say you're learning a really simple skill, like learning to spin your pen.
66
You might practice this, get accuracy one time.
67
You can spin it and you catch it one time.
68
And then you might do it again and again.
69
And for every 10 attempts, you maybe get it right once.
70
And then the next 10 attempts, you get it right twice.
71
And the next 10, you get it right three times.
72
So you can see there's improvement here because we're measuring the success rate, even though the majority of the time, we're actually doing it wrong and we're failing.
73
And so what happens is that during this time,
74
what's actually happening in our brain is that our brain is building conditionality on the skill and on the knowledge.
75
It's understanding in this context, with these variables, in this environment, I'm able to do this correctly.
76
This is what it takes.
77
But when you change one of those variables, it's a slightly different context, it's a little bit more challenging, different combination of things.
78
Now it's a different situation.
79
Someone who is a master of that skill can still do it, but you are not a master yet.
80
You're only at level two.
81
So for you, you're not going to be able to know how to handle that.
82
You're going to make a mistake.
83
And as you do that, you're gaining more self-awareness.
84
And you're sort of cycling between these two levels.
85
Every single time you encounter a new variable, a new factor that makes it more challenging.
86
And your brain is starting to understand all the different contexts
87
and how it needs to slightly change the way that you perform the skill to be able to succeed more consistently.
88
And this is the part that is often the most time consuming for skill development.
89
This is usually the part where people talk about this 10,000 hour rule.
90
You need to just practice things 10,000 hours to become a master at it.
91
It's because you need to expose yourself to enough of these different contexts and challenges and variables to have consistency.
92
And so there's actually a really practical point that appears when you think about it this way.
93
What do you do if the skill that you're learning doesn't allow you to get many reps in?
94
You can't measure your success.
95
Like if you're using a skill once a month
96
and you need to have at least let's say five or six reps of using the skill to get a success rate, you know it's going to take you six months,
97
a year to be able to get enough data to even know what your baseline success rate is.
98
And so this becomes a really challenging situation.
99
And actually the solution to this is that you have to increase the reps.
100
If you're in a situation where the only practice
101
and the only reps that you're getting are so infrequent that you can't even measure your success rate, you're just not going to be able to measure it.
102
And you're also not going to be able to improve very fast
103
because your brain doesn't have many repetitions at learning these different variables and getting that practice.
104
So your options are either find a way to get more repetitions in more frequently or
105
Be okay with developing the skill more slowly and what I find with a lot of
106
Top learners that are really able to learn skills quickly is that they're very proactive about this.
107
They'll identify Hey, there's a bottleneck here.
108
I can't measure my success rate because I'm not getting enough reps in of practice My consistency isn't improving fast enough.
109
I need to do something and change my
110
environment my reality to allow me to have those repetitions whereas
111
a Lot of people probably most people take a more passive approach to this and just say Hey, I'm not getting enough reps in
112
I'm learning this really slowly and they just don't really do anything about it
113
So you have to give yourself the ingredients the opportunity to improve quickly
114
now in the conscious competence framework this is called conscious competency
115
and usually what this means is that it requires a very high level of effort
116
and attention and focus and concentration for you to be able to do it accurately
117
and so going from level two to level three your indicator of progress is
118
that the effort starts going down so your effort starts reducing It becomes easier.
119
And that's your indicator of progress.
120
As you continue to develop, the amount of effort you need to put in starts dropping.
121
What this means in your brain is that at this level, we're starting to develop a habit.
122
Your existing neural connections about how it performs a skill are starting to become a little bit more reinforced, a bit more autopilot is taking over.
123
And so you can spend your focus and attention on the parts
124
that are more tricky and that improves your consistency
125
Because now you're not having to spend all of your focus on just every single step of the process
126
And so again at this point, I want you to pay attention to the fact that we're still not very fast
127
Speed of using the skill has not actually come yet.
128
In fact, it's only in the next level here level four where speed
129
comes in and I'm going to put this in brackets because there's a very important part about speed.
130
Speed is not something that you develop.
131
Speed is a natural by-product when you're able to do all the lower levels correctly.
132
Well, not level zero.
133
Okay, not that part, but all the levels from one to three, when you are able to have accuracy and you can do it consistently
134
and you can do it with decreasing amounts of effort, what naturally will occur is that your speed will start to increase.
135
And what I've noticed in my years of coaching is that when you deliberately try to increase your speed,
136
it often just increases your rate of error or decreases your consistency.
137
And then you start introducing all sorts of different mistakes and complexities with developing the In reality, if you just don't worry about getting faster at all,
138
you will just naturally get faster.
139
Unless you're deliberately trying to do it slowly, which most people aren't.
140
And so in level four on the path to mastery, you start noticing, without even trying, it's getting faster and faster and faster.
141
Your consistency is not dropping, your accuracy is staying high,
142
but it's just naturally getting faster until level five you're at mastery you have accuracy consistency and fluency aka speed
143
and they're locked in this is where you're going to get
144
those really hard plateaus your accuracy i mean your accuracy
145
and consistency are already very high
146
but your speed is just not getting any faster at all
147
because you're about as fast as it can get unless you completely change your entire process
148
and it's at these levels here
149
that in the conscious competence framework sometimes we We call this unconscious competence
150
and that you're able to do it great without even trying.
151
And so simply just by being aware of the path of mastery, it allows you to have a more accurate measure of your progress.
152
And also because you know what the right thing to measure is, you can also change the way you practice to get good at that metric.
153
For example, if you know that fluency is something that comes much later, you don't worry about trying to get fast.
154
If your current focus is accuracy, you focus on just building accuracy.
155
If your focus is consistency, you just focus on consistency.
156
And so just being aware of this allows you to hit mastery much more quickly and easily with less demotivation.
157
So that's the first part.
158
The second strategy is early interleaving.
159
Now my normal approach to learning a skill used to be that I will try to build that accuracy and consistency, And I'll just try to get really, really good at it.
160
And then when I feel like I'm at a certain level, I'm going to challenge myself by trying it on different types of contexts and just more challenging situations.
161
And then as expected, my accuracy and my consistency will break down because I'm challenging myself at a higher level.
162
And then I'll just continue at that until I'm able to do it and then I'll move on.
163
That's actually a slower way to develop.
164
And this is what early interleaving is about you actually want to continually mix up the challenges
165
and the variety of your practice
166
from your earliest levels of practice
167
and one of the famous examples of using interleaving actually comes from basketball free throwing
168
so the idea was
169
that i guess in the old days the method of practicing
170
your basketball free throw was to stand in the like penalty zone line i i don't watch basketball
171
and I don't play basketball.
172
You know, you stand in one spot
173
and you throw the ball into the hoop and you just continue to do that until you get accuracy.
174
And then what sports scientists figured out was
175
that actually your ability to accurately and consistently throw the ball from that spot goes up when you practice around that area.
176
So you don't just stay in that spot, you stand in front of that spot, behind that spot, to the left of that spot, to the right of that spot, while you're moving, while you're staying still.
177
And by creating variation early on and frequently in that practice process,
178
what it does is it allows your brain to find the edges of the skill, which is, I know that's like a kind of an abstract imagery,
179
but from your brain's perspective, when you're learning a skill, it doesn't know how to do it in a way that produces a certain result.
180
It doesn't know what to do and how much to do.
181
How much is too much?
182
How much is not enough?
183
What does it feel like to underthrow, overthrow, under-aim, over-aim?
184
And so by creating slightly different situations and constantly challenging yourself beyond your comfort zone,
185
it actually helps your brain figure out the right way of doing it.
186
In a way, you could say that it's learning more from the mistakes than it is from the successes.
187
And so the way that I like to think about applying interleaving
188
when you're learning a new skill is to think about lateral versus vertical challenge.
189
So lateral versus vertical challenges.
190
So let's say I'm learning to learn and I'm practicing a mind mapping skill.
191
So I want to be able to do a mind map for this topic using this technique that I've been given.
192
That would be the center point, that's our primary dominant goal.
193
A lateral challenge would be to apply the same technique for a topic that's similar level of complexity
194
but a different topic or a different set of concepts.
195
So what we're changing with a lateral challenge is the context that we're are applying the skill to.
196
On the other hand, with a vertical challenge, we're gonna change the level of difficulty.
197
So this might mean trying to use a mind map technique for a harder subject
198
or a more complex set of concepts or maybe learning from a resource that's harder to understand.
199
We're keeping the context relatively similar but we're changing the difficulty of applying the technique.
200
I'll give you another example.
201
Let's say that you are a software developer
202
and you are learning how to create a checkout page on a website with some custom billing software.
203
The software is new.
204
You've never really created a checkout in this way before.
205
There's lots of complexities to it You need to learn how to do this So you have your goal state, which is the specific checkout page You need to create the project
206
that you've been given and you have the particular component
207
that you're building You read through the documentation
208
and it says this component is meant to be used in this way
209
and it can achieve this function
210
So your first round of practice is just to try to do it in
211
that way It's often the simplest most obvious way of trying to apply the skill You might do
212
that a couple of times get your head around that and now instead of moving on to the next component
213
Assuming that you've got mastery over this
214
or instead of just continuing to Practice doing that until you're able to do that consistently.
215
We could apply a lateral challenge So this might be building a very similar thing, but integrating it with a different software, a similar level of complexity,
216
similar functions that you're using, a similar architecture and approach, but just a different product that you're integrating.
217
Whereas a vertical challenge might be
218
building a slightly more complicated checkout than the one that you've been given as part of your project, creating a more complex logic or a complex workflow.
219
And so these types of challenges, you want to do this very early on when you're learning a skill, and that's going to allow you to learn that skill much more quickly.
220
And this process of applying these challenges is a form of what we call interleaving.
221
Now, before I go into the third strategy, I will say that this idea of path to mastery and early interleaving are two really important strategies,
222
but they are still only two strategies.
223
And there are lots of other little strategies that you might be able to apply in different types of contexts.
224
And I'm not going to go over those in this video
225
because I think these three really make a big difference for most people.
226
But if you do want to go a little bit deeper into this
227
and you want to get a few more of these types
228
of tips then I would recommend checking out my free weekly newsletter.
229
If you don't already know I have a newsletter it's free
230
and sent out weekly and I talk about these types of insights
231
and these tips on how you can learn new skills and learn new knowledge more quickly.
232
I usually talk about some kind of important principle like this path mastery thing is actually a concept
233
that I talk about in one of the newsletters as well
234
and I'll give you some practical takeaways for you to practice throughout the rest of the week
235
and in a way it becomes this week by week pretty digestible course
236
that you can take to start upgrading the way that you learn
237
so if you're interested in that i'll leave a link to
238
that in the description to sign up below anyway moving into the third one
239
which is something that i call gap seeking
240
so before i talked about this idea of the 10 000 hour rule
241
which i'm sure you know You've all heard about before but you don't need 10,000 hours
242
Some people take this really literally in fact I've had people take it
243
so literally actually count the amount of hours that they've spent on it
244
And then they start getting really anxious when they're approaching like 9,000 hours
245
and they're like I know I'm not as good as I need to be yet
246
it's entirely possible for you to spend 10,000 hours learning a skill and and still not be very good.
247
And it's also entirely possible to spend half the amount of time, or sometimes even like a tenth of that time, and be very good.
248
And so what's important is to understand the science behind the 10,000 hour rule.
249
What is it that's meant to happen in those 10,000 hours?
250
Because if you know what's meant to happen in those 10,000 hours, you can just directly trigger that.
251
You can just make that happen.
252
Because it's not the hours, it's not the time passing that makes the difference, It's what happens in those hours.
253
And one of the biggest things that happens in those hours is the idea of finding these gaps.
254
And I think gap seeking is a good one to end on
255
because it ties together the path of mastery
256
and the early interleaving part into kind of like a single frame of mind
257
that you should have when you're learning new skills.
258
And this is a frame of mind that I didn't used to have
259
and I found really uncomfortable to have when I was younger.
260
And I think reframing the way
261
that I thought about learning new skills with this gap seeking mentality was one of the most important changes
262
that I made that allowed me to start learning skills much more quickly.
263
And so to explain this, I'm going to refer to something called the zone of proximal development.
264
The zone of proximal development, which is a theory that was coined by this guy called Vygotsky,
265
who's this very well-known learning and educational theorist and philosopher years ago.
266
The idea with the Zone of Proximal Development is that you have this comfort zone in the middle,
267
and this comfort zone is made up of your current level of skills and habits and processes.
268
So your current skill is represented by the edge of this comfort zone.
269
Anything that is Outside of that is beyond your current skill
270
and anything that is inside of that is something that you find very easy You already have mastery of it.
271
So when you're learning a new skill, obviously It being a new skill is not going to be inside your comfort zone.
272
So it's gonna be somewhere Outside of this and if it's a complex skill, it's probably gonna be like way out here, right?
273
It's far beyond your current level of comfort
274
and actually even further than the zone of proximal development which is the area just outside of your comfort zone.
275
The idea is that if you are learning skills inside this zone of proximal development,
276
it's outside of your comfort zone but still close enough that allows you to learn new skills very quickly.
277
If you go way too far out and you try to learn the skill all the way over there, it's so different to your existing habits and your processes
278
that your brain doesn't really know what to do and
279
so it's very slow at learning it and so
280
if you want to get there what you need to do is get to this point
281
and then you need to get to this point
282
and you need to get to this point and get to this one
283
so obviously your comfort zone is kind of expanding every single time you're learning it
284
and your zone of proximal development is obviously you know expanding
285
until one day your goal state is inside your zone of Proximal Development and now you can learn it.
286
And that's basically what we're trying to do with this Path of Mastery.
287
The Path of Mastery is you hop in your way over from, you know, here all the way through to this point.
288
Okay, let's just clean that up.
289
Now here's the issue that happens in reality when you're trying to learn a new skill, which is that it's easy enough to go from your current comfort zone into your zone of Proximal Development
290
and just learn this new skill.
291
So you can go from here to here relatively easily
292
and you continue to practice this and it gets more comfortable you You start gaining this mastery,
293
you know, it starts getting easier and easier And so these are all indicators that your comfort zone is expanding out.
294
So let me redraw this to encompass that Okay,
295
so now our comfort zone has expanded out and likewise our zone of Proximal development is slightly out as well.
296
So we're one step closer.
297
So naturally, of course, the next step as I just explained is for us to take the next step outside here.
298
This next step is not as easy as it seems
299
and the reason is that it's actually much easier and sometimes even more intuitive
300
for us to stay inside here and just continue to loop around instead of going to the next stage.
301
And there are a couple of reasons for this.
302
First of all, when you go from where you were before in your comfort zone to here you at
303
that time experienced your error rate was going up your consistency was not very high you had to travel
304
that path of mastery until it became a new skill
305
and a new habit and then only then did it become comfortable for you
306
and now your error rate is very low and your consistency is very good and so it feels a little off,
307
it feels a little wrong to now deliberately do something that is going to increase your error all over again.
308
It feels like you're making negative progress.
309
And so that point is just a misunderstanding of the fact that you're still making progress, it's just that you're moving on to the next level of the skill.
310
And so that's just something to be aware of.
311
But the other issue, and this is really the big one,
312
is that we as humans have a tendency to reinforce what we already know rather than seeking out new uncertainty.
313
We like to know things.
314
We like to be good at things.
315
We like things to be certain and stable and predictable.
316
And so when we practice for 10,000 hours,
317
what's actually happening in those 10,000 hours is that we are continually exposing us to challenges that show areas of uncertainty.
318
And as we overcome each uncertainty, that's building mastery.
319
But the reason it takes so long, when it doesn't have to,
320
is that most of that time tends to be spent on just reinforcing what we're already comfortable with.
321
So we develop an initial level of comfort, and then we reinforce that.
322
It might take us, you know, 10 hours to get to this point and then we'll spend another 20 hours just reinforcing here.
323
And so the feeling, and this is the part that actually feels counterintuitive in a way, because the feeling is that when this happens,
324
what we're doing is we're stabilizing the skill.
325
And that seems like a good thing.
326
We've learned a new skill, we're trying to stabilize it before we push on ahead.
327
And that's totally appropriate if we were in the earlier stages of the path to mastery.
328
If we are in the accuracy or the consistency phase,
329
we absolutely need to stabilize to improve the consistency or improve the accuracy until we get fluency.
330
But once it's become a habit and therefore we actually feel comfortable with it,
331
there is no real benefit to continuing to stay at that level.
332
And the reason I said that this is kind of like a biologically hardwired thing is that
333
staying inside here and looping at the same level of comfort is a self-reinforcing loop.
334
What happens is that we have a task that used to be challenging for us.
335
We learn to get good at that task.
336
We are able to succeed at that task.
337
This makes us feel good.
338
And then we continue to loop and do this because it feels good.
339
And so staying in that zone where we're already comfortable becomes something that we look forward to and that's self-reinforcing.
340
But it's also inadvertently self-sabotaging if what you needed to get to was way over here.
341
And so if you're trying to learn a complex skill or to a high level,
342
you always need to keep a level of awareness on systematically resolving uncertainties.
343
What that means is that you are actively thinking about where your current level of skill is, what feels uncertain?
344
Where does your confidence drop with applying the skill?
345
And trying to resolve that, going towards the challenge, moving towards the mistakes and the failures.
346
And then once you're comfortable with that, then finding the next zone of uncertainty.
347
And obviously we can use our target skill level as an indicator.
348
Like if there's a certain outcome that you want to achieve, a certain problem that you want to solve, a project that you want to do, you're going to know if you are at the skill level where you can actually do that successfully or not.
349
So you can use that as a goalpost and continue to find areas of uncertainty
350
that allow you to move along in this way
351
instead of getting stuck into that very easy and common trap of just cycling within your new comfort zone.
352
And honestly, just this final mentality of gap seeking alone can probably cut down your skill mastery time by like 40-50%.
353
Now, if one of the complex skills you want to develop is learning
354
and you want to be able to learn any new skill more quickly, you might want to check out this video here where I go into that topic in a lot more depth.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
