Deliberate practice requires your full attention - Deepstash

Deliberate practice requires your full attention

The deeper we focus during deliberate practice sessions, the more we get out of them.

  • If you can pay your full attention for only five minutes in practice, then take a break every five minutes. Increase your focus time as you get better.
  • Figure out which practice activities have the biggest potential to increase your performance. Plan to do them first before considering activities that offer marginal gains.
