Monitor your progress from "summary" of The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle
To get better, you need a clear, simple technique to monitor your progress. This means setting a specific goal, then finding a way to measure it. For example, if you're a musician, you might aim to play a piece at a certain tempo. If you're a writer, you might aim to write a certain number of words in a given time. The key is to set a goal that's specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. In other words, it's a SMART goal. Once you've set your goal, the next step is to track your progress. This can be as simple as keeping a log of your practice sessions, noting what you did well and what you could improve on. Or you could use a more sophisticated tracking system, like a spreadsheet or a practice journal. The important thing is to find a method that works for you, one that helps you see how you're doing and what you need to work on. Monitoring your progress is important for several reasons. First, it helps you stay motivated. When you can see that you're making progress, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and keeps you going. Second, it helps you identify areas where you need to improve. By tracking your performance, you can see what's working and what's not, and adjust your practice accordingly. Finally, monitoring your progress helps you set new goals. Once you've achieved one goal, you can set another, higher goal to keep pushing yourself. In short, monitoring your progress is a key part of getting better at anything. By setting specific, measurable goals and tracking your performance, you can stay motivated, identify areas for improvement, and keep pushing yourself to new heights. So take the time to monitor your progress, and watch yourself improve.
