Learning a new skill
To learner a new skill can sometimes be a way of relaxing for many people
With the holidays here, lots of people take time off from work to relax and enjoy a deserved break. But for some people, they take the time to develop new skills or discover a hidden talent.
Let’s look at taking up painting:
Set a goal for yourself
It’s important to have goals from the start so you can measure the success of the skill. For example, if you want to start painting, it’s important to set the goal of finishing at least one painting or at least learning a new technique.
Breakdown the skillset
Break it down into sub-skills that makes it easier for you to learn. For instance, when learning to paint, it is important to break it into different styles and different types you can do.
Identify possible barriers
After setting your goals, it’s important to also identify the barriers that might hinder the success of the new skillset. Take note of the influence weather may have on the time for a painting to dry completely.
Use the 80/20 rule
When it comes to learning a new skill, the best is to use the rule learning 20% of the skill can lead to 80% on the way to success.
Focus on one skill at a time
It’s important to focus on one skill at a time and try and perfect it completely.
