Episode Synopsis


Don't do drills. Instead, play small, addictive games. This tip is about the way you think about your practice. The term drill evokes a sense of drudgery and meaninglessness. It's mechanical, repetitive, and boring. As the saying goes, drill and kill. Games, on the other hand, are precisely the opposite.

They mean fun, connectedness, and passion. And because of that, skills improve faster when they're looked at this way.
