The Ladder to Success

How do we get good at something? Anything?

1) Identify what we want.

2) Break that down into some smaller goals.

3) Take action towards those goals.

4) Re-evaluate our plan at regular intervals.

Another way:

Ask yourself where you want to be.

Ask yourself where you are presently.

Work out the steps up the ladder between those places.

Be willing to change those steps.

Another: 

I’m pretty bad at line memorisation.

I want to reach a level of automaticity where I won’t have to even think of the lines.

What steps would I have to take to move up the ladder from where I’m at, to where I want to be?

Hmm that one doesn’t work very well, I’ll try another strategy for memorisation.

It is that simple.
