This made me think that I couldn't be a developer)Learning You're the Author - Stage 1Most things are learnable skills (You have agency and the skills are not magic):Empathy (See Things Worth Learning episode with Michele Hansen)OrganizationPublic SpeakingCreating ArtHosting a PodcastDoing a handstandBecoming an EngineerSome may be better naturally, and inevitably some people will have been doing it longer. However, you can 100% become really good at most skills. The way you do these skills might be modified depending on your body/mind. Some skills can also have a money/time barrier. However, we have more agency over what skills we can learn than most think, myself included.Words matterJust add “yet” or “learning” “I can't dance yet.”“I'm learning how to play guitar.”Even if you have no interest in the skill, changing your language helps you remember that you can do these skills.Power of Priorities - Stage 2What skills call to you?Is there a childhood dream you can try now?E.g. “Learning how to dance is a priority for me.”Power of Not a Priority - Stage 3Feel empowered to say no to things.Notice the ones that you feel guilty about. Maybe they should be let go.This can create more space for what you do want to focus on.E.g. “I could learn guitar, but it is not a priority for me.” E.g. “I could train to run a marathon, but it is not a priority for me.”Doing the Work - Stage 4The earlier stages are more introspective, but here is where the work comes in.Don't remake the wheel, learn from those who came beforeAffirmations are a valuable and useful tool for motivationDon't try to change too quickly (baby steps into a new habit)Keep at it regularly until it becomes a habitEmbrace being bad at it at first, make it fun, and maybe make it the goalIf somehow you are a natural enjoy that too (but don't make that part of your identity in this new skill where you will inevitably reach plateaus)Let go of past attempts focus on the positiveProgress isn't linear (but it is chronologically)Can really see this in physical skillsIf you zoom out it trends upwards as long as you keep tryingEnjoy new milestones, but enjoy the middle also (don't get sucked up into next trick mindset)You'll spend most of your time in the middle eventuallyBreak streaks on purpose (so important for perfectionist)A long streak comes with a lot of pressure to keep going, and if it fails can suck out all motivation of starting againStreaks are not good for sustainability or longevity of skillsCycles of Reflection and Refinement - Stage 5Do you need to focus on new skills?Change your goals?Do you need more structure and break up your goals into different categories?Any self-care or personal development that you need to focus on?Adding self-care tools to your tool beltDifferent periods of lifeAdding skills/goalsCutting back skills/goalsMaintaining skills/goalsDecades with a new story - Stage NIf you start now you can have decades with a new story. I find this motivating.
