Lifelong is to keep the habit and refine as needed.

Stage 3, iteration, is about increasing fluency of mastery. Cognitive schema automation. Building up the habit.

Consistency -> Accuracy -> Speed

Varied practice is necessary, and fine-tune the technique based on experiment in application.

After relevance comes the awareness stage (you become aware of your mistakes)...

Making mistakes raises your awareness about how you do the skill and ensures you improve on it. By just doing theory you can't learn from mistakes and you can't possibly read up on EVERYTHING.

Reflective process is necessary. Kolb's. Experiment.

After relevance comes the "plateau period" where a lot of practice is being done with a lot of mistakes; there seems to be little progress. Most people give up here.

You need a growth mindset and just continue.

The first stage of learning a complex skill is creating relevance, not in the sense of making knowledge relevant to your life; but rather in seeing what is relevant to learn at this point in the learning career.

Building a map...

The actions are exploration and challenge. Exploration = getting diverse opinions from others and learning the theory & variables. Challenge = open-mindedness for other beliefs and assumptions.

Reminds me of 10 Steps to Complex Learning for curriculum design, where doing a skill decomposition is one of the first steps in designing the curriculum, and either being an expert or having access to experts is paramount.

RAIL stands for:

• Relevance
• Awareness
• Iteration
• Lifelong
