These are the two most valuable tools for developing your skills.

We looked at deliberate practice in a recent video:
Getting the Best Value from Experience (and the Myth of 10,000 hours) -    • Getting the Best Value from Experienc...  

Equally important is purposeful reflection. It is another deliberate activity.

You set aside time to reflect specifically on what happened during your practice. Focus on the things that happened, and understanding why some things worked and some did not.

Wisdom
Wisdom is hard to define. And, it's harder still to acquire.
One of the things I learned while researching it is this. The people whom others regard as wise do one thing systematically. They reflect on their experiences, and try to understand them.

These are the people whom others look to for pointers to difficult decisions, for advice, and inspiration. Wouldn't you want to be seen as wise one day?

Get Wisdom
If you do, start a practice of purposeful reflection. Spend time thinking about what has happened and how it came about.
• What decisions did you make?
• How did you make them?
• How did they turn out?
• What events made a difference?
• How did they influence things?
• What indications were there, before they happened?
And what can you learn from these musings?

Take some time to reflect
Set aside a good hour. Just you and a notebook and pen (or whatever device suits you).
Somewhere quiet and private. Or, somewhere public and away from your usual places (like a coffee shop). Anywhere where you can do some quality thinking.
Look back over the year so far. Think about the events, big and small. The choices you made. How things worked out. And what can you learn from them.

Above all, it's the purposeful reflection that matters.
It matters far less whether you make lots of notes or none. Even whether you draw profound conclusions or feeble insights. Trust that, if you direct your attention, your mind will find something golden amongst the rubble.\n
