Key Takeaways
Learning a new skill and transforming it into a habit is essential for improving performance.
There are four stages of learning: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence.
Unconscious incompetence is when we don’t know what we don’t know, like when we first want to learn how to drive a car.
Conscious incompetence is realizing that there’s more to learn and that theory alone is not enough.
Conscious competence is when we can perform the skill with the help of an instructor but still need to think about each step.
Unconscious competence is the goal, where the skill becomes a habit and can be performed effortlessly.
Developing habits related to attitude and behavior can be more challenging than motor skills.
Setting goals, using affirmations, having reminders, and being motivated are important for making changes in behavior and attitude.
