Lesson 3: How do you "deliberately practice" your job?

Abstract

In the first two lessons in this series, Cal and I discussed why you need to develop meta-knowledge of how your career works, and which skills are worth investing in. However, assuming you can get over that obstacle, the next challenge–actually getting good at the skills in question–can often be difficult.

Practicing a well-defined skill with a clear learning path like chess or music is one thing. But how do you deliberately practice an office job?

In this lesson, Cal will share some of his insights in applying deliberate practice outside the original areas it was first developed in.
