It might be that the hardest thing about getting good at something is all the time you have to spend being bad at it beforehand.
That’s what makes high school and college so valuable. There’s plenty of time to be bad at stuff on your way to being great. Plenty of margin in the day. No pressure. No worries. Tomorrow has a bunch of margin too. Start bad, get good.
As we move through life we still want to make great things and get good at new things…if only it could happen quickly.
We have a hard time committing to all the time it will take to get there. Our margins are thin. We want to spend those margins on things that are less risky, more efficient, more inside the lines.
But could you spend thirty minutes a day being bad at something you want to get good at?
