How to Enhance Skill

There are two factors to the success of enhancing one’s skill. One is the intensity and the other is persistence.

Intensity

Intensity is something like deliberate training. It requires the trainee to finish the tasks in a short period of time with all their whole attention on it. Usually this process would only last for around an hour as this requires many efforts put on the tasks in quite a short time. After that, it highly suggested the trainee take a rest or change the working mode to a different type. As a consequence, it can be helpful for turning the concentration mode of our brain into diffuse mode. This way can really help us refine our brain system to find a better approach to resolving the problem.

Persistence

Just like our muscle, the skill memory would start to decrease once we start to reduce the frequency of using it. Therefore, if we want to develop a better approach to resolving the problem and enhance the skill itself, it’s essential to keep the habit of using the skill from time to time.

Conclusion

Learn how to learn can sometimes be even more important than our natural talent. As we know, our brain is not the same status as it’s set. There are so many mysterious and great functions insides it waiting for us to discover. Once we can get the hang of using it, then one day soon we would find we can do more than we’ve ever expected.

Taking action is always harder than sitting talking about the theory. It’s not easy to change the whole things in one go. It’s always uncomfortable to learn new things or develop a new habit. However, one step forward is a step toward a better self. Let’s drive our passion and make the change start from now on. Even though it’s a small step, it can still be the corner stone to lead us to the goal we dream.
