Jaron Putnam Chapter 5 Summary
Summary: The idea of
Motivation in deep practice is a very important one. Motivation comes through
something called "ignition." This can happen in a variety of
different ways. Perhaps you see someone who can perform your skill in an
incredible way and you want to be like them. Perhaps you see a reward that
comes from performing your certain skill, and you want that award. No matter
what it is, the "ignition" is what motivates us to get into the
practice room and engage in deep practice. We don’t have to be in a nice
environment to improve at our skill either. In fact working in kind of a
sketchy environment keeps us on edge, and keeps our drive to improve engaged.
Key Concepts:
Motivation is a key to improving at a skill. Motivation is gained through
certain primal ways that keep us motivated and practicing.
Key Terms:
Ignition, Trigger,
Primal Cues
Making Connections:
What I need to do is continue to recognize positive triggers when I see them.
Often I will experience a primal trigger, want to do better and then not do
very much about it. Next time I experience a trigger I need to take some time
and write down some specific goals of what I saw that I want to accomplish.
