How to practice (2024)
Answer these questions: What do I want to get good at? Writing more compelling UGC content.
Choose something specific you wish to focus on. Like more creative actions. (chunking)
Once you've decided your goals here's the process...
You would look for high-quality gameplay (there's no need to look for abstractions/other peoples mental representations at your skill level. you're better off learning anatomy on your own)
Break it down. Do it in parts. What does that mean?? Learning too much is overwhelming and inefficient.
Let's say hooks. You would have in mind or learn the patterns to look for, then recognize them from your swipe of selected high quality content to break down.
First step is to recognize,
Second step is to understand, to go deeper. To ask the questions you've already asked. To let go of what you think you understand. To accept and become humble. To practice more slowly than you think. TO TAKE NOTES.
Third step is compression, repetition is the king of pattern-recognition. Let your brain do the work for you
Fourth step is remembering, to play. To use the information that you think you understood and make something with it. To create. To do parallelism.
Fifth and last step is tight feedback loops. To recognize your mishaps. To test your new ideas and see the gaps in your knowledge. To take notes of what you don't know yet. To create new goals for your next session.
Bonus step. Comparison. To take a goal that's already been achieved and try to achieve it with your own solution. Then see who did it better. What are the differences? What's most apparent about your differences? What did you greatly miss? Where was your greatest blunder?
what would one rep look like?
-Take a book an pencil. Put a timer. -Write something(this is optional) -Choose the content you're going to break down (at least 3 if they're short form) -Break them down(fully explained later) -Try to do active recall -Parallelism -Wait. Then do active recall again (or if you already did a session the day before try to remember the concepts you understood then)
