How to avoid getting stuck
- Change to more challenging environments where your performance is no longer adequate. It will put you back on the learning curve.
- Get a coach to get access to high-quality instruction and feedback. If you're on a tight budget, informally ask for feedback.
- Use new methods to increase your chance for a breakthrough.
- Join a community for practice. A community can share methods and learn from each other.
- Focus on a specific area of improvement. In writing, pick one sentence and rewrite to make it more clear.
