You may have heard the adage that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master of a craft.
However, the real trick is to pick a specific target and practice towards this.
More importantly, however, the interim period was filled with deliberate practice.
Kobe had a very clear goal at practice: 800 made jump shots.
He was deliberately focused on developing the skill of making baskets.
The time he spent doing it was almost an after thought.
That sounds simple, but it’s very different from how most of us approach our work each day…
It’s not the same thing as practicing deliberately.
Specific goals may vary from day to day.
The important detail, however, is that the goal is specific.
Rather than “I’d really like to learn photography.”
