You should be reading books, blogs, listening to speeches, taking classes, whatever will give you a large repertoire of recipes as fast as possible. Try following along with them, doing whatever is being talked about, and not just reading. The next stage requires a contextual understanding of different situations and the only way you develop that context is through practice.

Start looking for more maxims and applying them to your practice, and seeing if they make sense to you. Try breaking away from the clear recipes you have, trying to change things in them, and seeing what happens. Make your own versions of the recipes by piecing together different recipes and looking up help as you need it. The only way you graduate from novice is by breaking away from fixed recipes.

You need to try improvising, combining recipes, and letting yourself make mistakes. More importantly, when something goes wrong, start looking for how to solve it without blaming the recipe. To become an Advanced Beginner, break away from fixed recipes and start combining them with maxims into new projects.

At this point you should have a large repertoire of recipes and maxims that you can apply, but not a lot of clarity around what is important in deciding which ones to use. You might get overwhelmed by decisions easily, and as a result, revert to simply following a recipe and hoping you get lucky. This can be hard to do on your own, which is why the Advanced Beginner to Competent stage is benefited greatly by a mentor who can provide rules and guidelines on what information to focus on.

One method for doing this might be to deliberately restrict yourself in a situation to not using all of your available recipes. Maybe you force yourself to write without any adjectives, or draw using only pencil, or play with only your pawns and king. With this deliberate limiting should come more joy and despair when you succeed or fail.

This is where tactics start to get hazy. It will be an emergent shift. To become Proficient, keep practicing and collecting more experience until your chosen perspective becomes intuitive. Until you have a sense of what to focus on and what goals to set instead of having to choose it deliberately. Finally, to reach expertise, you need to not only intuit what to focus on but also how to do it.

Everything must feel completely intuitive like recognizing the faces of your family or navigating the streets around where you grew up.

To reach this stage, it again comes back to deliberate practice. You must keep experimenting and practicing and limiting yourself in order to see how different goals you intuitively set lead to different outcomes until you can intuitively set the process as well. Practice following your instincts and seeing where they lead, and allow yourself to feel good or bad about the outcomes in order to learn the most from the experience.

You have to let yourself be emotionally involved in the whole process in order to develop expertise. The move from proficient to expert will take the longest, so be patient with it. Now that you understand the five levels of expertise, what defines them, and how to move up in them, you can develop a clear roadmap for improving any skill you want to become an expert at. Assess your skill level using the criteria and flow chart provided.

Figure out what you need to do to reach the next level: get more recipes? Limit your inputs? Practice improvising? Consult the relevant section. Keep employing deliberate practice to move from Competent to Proficient to Expert. Then consider joining the 30, other people getting the Monday Medley newsletter.
