How to learn master any skill by deconstructing it.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it's time to pause and reflect."
DiSSS -
Deconstruct - break it down to its elements, find the essence, do just that, not peripheral stuff, find what might be failure points and avoid them for the first 5 sessions.
Selection - Minimalism. 80/20 rule. Do the 20% most important things.
12 sentences that encapsulate the grammar in any language:
1. The apple is red.
2. It is John's apple.
3. I give John the apple.
4. We give him the apple.
5. He gives it to John.
6. She gives it to him.
7. Is the apple red?
8. The apples are red.
9. I must give it to him.
10. I want to give it to her.
11. I'm going to know tomorrow.
12. I can't eat the apple
13. I have eaten the apple.
[is it Subject Object Verb, SVO etc.]
Sequencing - what if I did things in the opposite order? What if I ignored best practices?
chess - learn board control. endings vs. openings first.
dancing - learn to follow first, then learn to lead
Stakes - no stakes approach
learn to cook not when not under pressure. not when making a meal.
practice flipping beans in a frypan.
learn to cut vegetables risk free - with a lettuce knife, cut celery while watching
motivation. give yourself consequences.
stick.com - choose an anti charity - something you don't want to give money to, then commit to give money to them if you don't accomplish your goals.
Simplify. Desicion comes from the word Incision - to cut off.
"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away."

rewards work well when there is a clear objective and little thinking required. Clear set of rules and single solution. Rewards narrow the focus and help get it done faster.
For more conceptual problems requiring cognitive effort, rewards are actually counter-productive. If / then rewards cause you to narrow focus when you need to open your mind.
New Paradigm
Autonomy - The urge to direct out own lives
Mastery - The desire to get better and better at something that matters
Purpose - The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves
Compliance vs. Engagement
Management = invented.
Compliance = management
Engagement = Autonomy
Give engineers time to work on whatever they want. @Google, half of all products come from the 20% [free] time. time, task, team, technique autonomy
Results Only Work Environment. No schedules. Just have to get their work done. How, when, up to them. Productivity, satisfaction, engagement all go up.
Plenty of evidence for this.
Wikipedia vs. Microsoft's Encyclopedia...
Intrinsic motivation vs. Carrots and Sticks.
If / Then rewards often destroy creativity.
