“Practice makes perfect.” — Proverb


***


You want to acquire a skill.


▼In this context


It is not enough to memorize the “how to.”

• Learning from experience is easier to remember than rote memorization.
• Skills can be used unconsciously.
• It is hard to verbalize a skill that has been acquired through experience.
▼Therefore


Continue practicing a skill again and again until you can use it unconsciously.

• First of all, try to use new skill and acquire a sense of it.
• And then, study the skill and understand how it works.
• Finally, keep in practice until you master it. Leaving the trace of learning as Tangible Piles (Tangible Piles) is a good way to maintain your motivation.
