Cut up a skill, to level up faster
After writing on the nature of games as components of Life (and how to level up)
To recap: the idea was that one ought to cut up a skill to make progress, you can't level up as a concept, you can only track progress on the tangible.
People asked me: "How do I actually break down a skill?"
So I say: "Let Me Cook"
STEP 1: IDENTIFY CORE COMPONENTS
Write down any skill you want to pursue. Could be writing, art, even confidence... Then break it down to sub categories.
Drawing becomes: Anatomy, Light, Perspective, Gesture, Composition, Color
Writing becomes: Hook, Story-telling, Compression, Articulation, Clarity
If a sub category can be cut up further, do it (IF necessary)
Note: Do not overcomplicate it, get a broad picture of what make you progress in a skill.
STEP 2: FIND LVL 0 & LVL 100
Basically, find people who represent the extremes of a skill, this is subject to change, you simply want to get clarity, it's fine if you drop by 1 or 2 levels as you realize there was a "better" master.
In Articulation:
- Level 0 = "gobble gobble"
- Level 100 = Jordan Peterson / J.F.K
In Anatomy:
- Level 0 = "can't even draw a front body"
- Level 100 = Seung Eun Kim / TenTen
Masters exist in every field. Find them. Study their work.
STEP 3: MAP YOUR POSITION
For each component, assess honestly:
- What can I do that beginners can't?
- What can masters do that I can't?
This gap = your training roadmap.
STEP 4: CREATE MEASURABLE MILESTONES
Not "get better at X",
"Write 21 hooks this week"
"Send 140 DMs this week",
"Draw 350 gestures this week"
Each milestone needs:
- Speed: How fast?
- Quality: What does success look like?
- Accuracy: Can you repeat it 8/10 times?
- Reps: How many practices to get there?
- Feedback: How many times will I send my work (to receive advice & critique)
STEP 5: TRAIN FEW AT A TIME
This is the biggest advice a friend (and anatomy monster) gave me:
"Focus on a couple of aspects (that work together), and practice them for a 2-4 weeks"
- This is how it works:
- Pick weakest link or highest-leverage component.
- Focused practice blocks. Move to next once milestone hit.
- Don't grind everything simultaneously.
- This turns "I want to get better" into "I need X reps at Y quality."
This way, there is no way vagueness will kill you. So, what skill are you deconstructing now?
