But getting better is the first step to getting great, and the best way I’ve found to get better at anything is to follow this simple formula:
Choose one thing Multitasking doesn’t accelerate improvement, it impedes it
Clarify your motivation The better you understand your why, the more likely you are to succeed
Define “better” You can’t achieve what you can’t define
Do your thing at least three times a week Improvement comes from action, not intention
Measure your results Learn from how people react to what you do, how you react to it, and figure out what works and what doesn’t
Develop a hypothesis about how you can improve Improvement comes from making adjustments and those adjustments are inspired by a hypothesis based on the results of the work you’ve done to this point
Test your hypothesis There’s as much to learn from being wrong as there is from being right
Recognize that “better” isn’t necessarily “great” The way to get great is to keep getting better
Following this 8-step template, you 100% can get better at anything in a month.
