73. How to Get Better at Something: A 2-Pronged Approach that Works

Want to get better at something, but not sure how? Do you read more about it? Practice more? Ask someone for help? Close your eyes and wing it?

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I share a two-pronged strategy for improving at anything, whether it’s a skill for school, a work task, or a personal goal.

You’ll learn why most people only use one side of the strategy (and stay stuck), and how you can use both sides to make faster, more reliable progress on whatever it is you want to get better at.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to get better at something using my 2-pronged approach

✅ The difference between “thinking about” a skill and actually practicing it 

✅ How to apply this two-pronged method to school, work, or personal goals

✅ Why most people only use one side of the strategy (and how not to be most people)

✅ Practical examples of using this strategy to learn something faster
