8.17 Day 13 Peak: C6 Principles of Deliberate Practice in Everyday Life

PART 1: Thoughts & summary

如何跨越停滞：（瓶颈期）

1.交叉练习→以不同方式挑战自己

2.攻克特点的弱点→找出问题（what,when,why）→专项改正 （但作者表示这种方法虽极有效，却未得到广发的认可）

保持动机：

也许刻意练习中的人最终要面对的最大问题，许多无法坚持的人是三分钟热度，我自己也是，看完一本励志书或鸡汤文后，斗志昂扬，但随着时间推移和外界诱惑慢慢消散。正如作者提到的“新年决心效应”，每到年末大家又开始盘点讨论年初设定的计划完成多少了呢！

如何保持动机：(如图）

1.作者否定了“意志力”的假设

2.保持动机的两个重要组成部分

set up your schedule: 记日程这件事很早就开始了，但都没坚持很久，直到这一次，中途有几天开始进入低潮期就暂停了好多天，后来开始反思发觉没记时做事效率和积极性都很低，便又重新开始，并尝试不同的方法和时间。以前虽然看过很多关于记日程的好处但也没这次认真反思亲自试验有效，因此现在每天多晚都会回顾今天任务完成情况，并安排隔日要事。

a group of like-minded individuals:虽然我们的进步很大程度依然取决于自己，但如果有人指导、反馈、鼓励，有时会让学习和工作变得更高效。就像这个阅读群，如果没加入，没有Eric的指导，许多读书的方法和方式，不知道还要等多久自己才能有所发觉和思考。和大家一起打卡，扩展了知识面，也了解更多思维方式，看到大家都这么优秀努力，就更不想放弃。

There is no reason not to follow your dream. Deliberate practice can open the door to a world of possibilities that you may have been convinced were out of reach. Open that door.
