Dedicating your best effort to an activity but not noticing much improvement in your skills? You’re not alone. Repetition can indeed be a way to get better at something, but if done incorrectly, you might just be repeating mistakes and not thinking of better ways to do your job.
In the video below, from the YouTube channel ‘TED,’ a channel that features the best TED Conferences by the world’s greatest thinkers, we see Eduardo Briceño, a Growth Hacking specialist, talking to us about how to improve our skills more intelligently.
When developing your proficiency in something, it is crucial to focus exclusively on the task at hand. Often, we believe we can multitask, but that is a misconception; doing one thing at a time is more efficient!
It’s very common for various thoughts to arise in our minds while performing an activity. ‘Do this! Do that!’ When this happens, make a note of what these thoughts are ordering, and they will become less frequent, allowing you to maintain your focus on what’s in front of you.
Humans are single-taskers; with multitasking, we lose about 20 to 30 percent of our time!
