Yet action comes from motivation.
But results don’t come from motivation—they come from action.
Elite joke, The Simpsons
Homer: Hey, how come you never play your guitar anymore?
Bart: I’ll tell ya the truth, Dad. I wasn’t good at it right away, so I quit. I hope you’re not mad.
Homer: [sweetly] Son, come here! Heh heh heh… [Bart sits on Homer’s knee] Of course I’m not mad. If something’s hard to do, then it’s not worth doing! You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your short-wave radio, your karate outfit, and your unicycle, and we’ll go inside and watch TV.
All repetitive skills eventually reach the stage where you can free your mind to concentrate on other, more important things. This is true whether the skill is typing, driving, playing a sport… or reading.
In the 1960s, psychologists Paul Fitts and Michael Posner described the three stages of acquiring a new skill. The first phase is the "cognitive stage," wherein you consciously think about the task. The second phase is the "associative stage," wherein you improve your accuracy and efficiency and the task requires much less concentration. The third phase is the "autonomous stage," wherein you basically perform the skill automatically with barely any conscious effort at all.
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
