If you are attempting to be better in any area of life, then
I have a great tip for you. Here it is.
Be sure you do enough high quality repetitions. Ten high quality repetitions are far better
than 100 haphazard ones.
The old adage “perfect practice makes perfect” is at play in
this philosophy.
It works in sports, music, relationships, and in all other
areas of life.
Daniel Coyle says this:
Deep practice is not measured in minutes or hours, but in the number of
high-quality reaches and repetitions you make – basically, how many new connections
you form in your brain.
~Daniel Coyle – The Little Book of
Talent
So, put aside your watch.
You are measuring your effectiveness by how many minutes you practice a
skill.
Rather, measure how many times you get it right. Professional golfers are notorious for being
tenacious about perfecting a swing. They
avoid practicing a bad swing. They want
to practice a great swing.
Your new chant – Perfect practice makes perfect.
