When you’re acquiring and developing a new skill, you need to learn how to learn. Learning is a meta-skill for life and for sustaining peak performance. This continuation of a two-parts episode builds on the foundation principles covered in Episode 36. In episode 37 of The Incrementalist, you will learn: 7 more  takeaways to learn and master any skillKeep a beginner's mind - be like the child learning to crawl who is not concerned about how she looks or about whether she’s succeeding or failing.  Invest in loss - give yourself to the learning process and be willing to lose and fail so you can win and succeed. Make smaller circles - emphasize depth over breadth; focus on the micro to understand the macro. Use adversity - take advantage of setbacks to hone new skills and move out of creative ruts. Slow down time - connect the unconscious and the conscious mind through chunking (create neural pathways, chunks, and navigation systems between the chunks).Be fully present - pay attention to the learning process to increase clarity in high-stakes moments. Get in the zone - use the stress-recovery effect to achieve focus and flow states. Read the transcript.Resources cited:Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal PerformanceDyan Williams, The Incrementalist: A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsDyan Williams, The Incrementalist podcast,  Ep. 5, Finding and Sustaining FlowDyan Williams, The Incrementalist podcast, Ep. 17, Smart Note-Taking for Productive WorkMusic by:Sebastian Brian Mehr: Album – Olemus; Song – La Nieve (hearnow.com)Dyan WilliamsCheck out the book: The Incrementalist, A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsVisit website: www.dyanwilliams.comSubscribe to productivity e-newsletter
