What do we know about practice?
1. Ericcson's study of human expertise finds that the biggest contributor to human excellence is deliberate practice.
2. Csikszentmihalyi's study of flow says that we must attempt tasks of appropriate levels of difficulty in order to get "lost" in an activity, in order to get flow.
3. Practice must be deliberate. Practice must be toward a goal.
4. Practice must be regular. You can't cram for a physical fitness test.
5. Practice must have feedback.
6. You can practice too much.
7. Practice is not self-motivating.
