Iliketrains Lol i think it supposed to say: the harder you work and sweat when practicing, (military training, workout, sports oriented training) the stronger you are in war/fight.
I think its not necessarily literally about war. In my opinion, it's just saying that when u practice something, when the time comes that u need to use what you practiced, you will suffer less. For example, if you practice hard work in everything you do, when a hard task comes, you do not find it as hard to work for it since you are used to giving it your all.
Actually, I prefer doing stuff on paper first before turning on the computer to program. I like to plan things out before putting it into code. Works every time... for me at least.
1. Minimize the distractions 2. Start out slowly 3. Gradually increase the speed of the quality repetitions 4. Frequent repetitions with a lot of breaks 5. Divide your time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration 6. Practice in your brain in vivid detail
And also I recommend to only learn 20 minutes at a time. After that you should take a break of at least 20 minutes. That's because the long memory can only affectively sort out about 20 minutes of information. After that the short time memory will take over and you are more likely to learn the mistakes you make and not the actual right way
To practice effectively: 1 - Stay consistent, intensely focused, and push yourself to the edge of your current capacity. 2 - Start off slow, then pick up speed. 3 - Practice throughout the day. 4 - Imagine yourself performing it.
The one kick that is practiced 10000 times will be a more skilled kick than any of the 5000 kicks that you practiced twice. I believe the point of the saying is that you shouldn't spread you training too thin. If you get confused and you hesitate then you will lose the initiative.

The importance of practising with good technique cannot be overstated - this is something I have learned recently when practising playing musical instruments, with regards to being aware of my Proprioception and using only the correct muscles/joints for the job, not involving incorrect muscles from elsewhere which give the superficial illusion of strength but actually just add tension and discourage building the correct muscles and thus prevent effective development. A saying I heard recently goes: "If you practise with incorrect technique, you'll practise really good at doing badly."
Very well said! As a pianist I'd like to add that bad technique not only greatly limits what one could accomplish, but can easily also lead to injuries, like tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. In severe cases, pianists completely lose the ability to play when they develop focal dystonia. As I understand it, this isn't so much a physical injury as much as it is your brain's wiring getting screwed up because of bad technique. Luckily I've never had anything more severe than sore hands for a few hours.
I love how video explains this difficult topic scientifically but so simple, that is available and understandable to almost everyone, even children. Muscle memory is something I have experienced many times. Even when solving a math problem, sometimes my hand just wrote what had to be written, I know that it sounds odd. Also, I don’t like taking notes with computer or laptops, because when I’m doing it on paper, I remember the material better and longer.
vanillatey m0l isn’t this a quote from chuck norris when someone asked what was his goal? I remember him saying that he wanted the people he admired to be people he could call equals.
I trained in a dojo in which the word "speed" was never spoken. We became faster naturally by repetition. We also didn't try to be faster, we just became faster without thinking about it. I realized this because the first time I saw higher-ranking students practicing there I was amazed at their speed. A few years later, I was one of those higher-ranking students, and it suddenly struck me one day that I was now one of those fast students I had observed earlier. All without giving speed a thought. I have also found that mental repetition of a task can program the body to perform that task without actual training. When I started climbing I "taught" myself to self-arrest (with an ice ax) by reading descriptions of the techniques in mountaineering books. I studied one book in particular. I never physically practiced. But the first time I slipped on a steep snow slope, I not only immediately self-arrested, but I saw the page on self-arrest from that particular book right in front of my face as I did it.
My notes: - Focus on the task at hand. Minimize any distractions. Moblie, notifications, people, etc. Start slowly in the practice session. Gradually increase the speed while focusing on accuracy. Frequent repetations with a lot of breaks. Practice in your brain in vivid detail. 🙂
I believe he said "alloted" breaks, not "a lot of" breaks. You do want breaks, but necessarily many of them, and it's good designate (allot) them to focus the timeboxed session.
Dude, this has helped me so much. I wanna be an animator but of course I need to master the art of drawing first, and so I find it hard to truly practice, and when I do, I feel lost and out of touch with what I'm doing sometimes, but this video helped me find out how I can get the most out of my time drawing, thank you once again TedEd, you've helped and amazed me a lot.
The video should also highlight the importance of sleep. A proper 8 hours of sleep boosts the effect of the day's practice your learning by huge, huge amounts, whether it be physical or mental practice. Sleep also restitutes your body and mind, meaning you'll be better equipped to learn the next day. It is essential to have a steady, healthy sleep schedule.
its not a matter of how much u sleep, its a matter of when u sleep.. theres melatonin and others stuff getting produced when its time to sleep.. i will always remember what my biology teacher told us a few years ago - practice going to sleep before 11 at night, because thats when the most melatonin is getting produced and every hour u sleep before 11 counts as 2 hours.. maybe im tripping but whenever i do that i need a lot less time of sleep than when i go to sleep at 1-3 in the morning.. try it
Sleep quality matters the most. You can sleep for 8 hours, but the quality of the sleep you got in those 8 hours is bad you'll still feel like you only slept 4-5 hours.
this complementa my thought that a master is never only good at his skill (misic, painting, sports, etc) but also a master at organization and every single thing that helps to grow that skill
Summarize: How to practice effective in anything? 1. Focus is the key, when you focus on the thing you do, you have chance to achieve a state of flow, which is make you action super effective 2. Good thing take time. You need to spend your time to practice fequently, the more time you spend on it, the better you become. Be patient! 3. Practice imagination Thanks TED for some useful information
That fact about imaging as well as physical practice achieving similar gains is interesting. As an artist who thinks he procrastinates too much, I spend a lot of time mentally going through what I’m going to draw/paint and how I’m going to do it BEFORE I start and that appears to actually be a good thing, not wasted time. 😀
I can attest to the idea that practicing in your head can be almost just as beneficial as physically practicing. When I broke my leg skateboarding, I was still learning how to kickflip. All I would think about was skating and picturing myself doing new tricks while I was recovering. Once I finally got cleared to skate again, I was immediately able to kickflip. I was so hyped lol.
From this video, i learned that mental practice is also important alongside physical practice. Recently, i just practice on study preparation for my national university test physically, i haven't done it mentally. So, it would worth a try. Thanks Ted-Ed for the well explained video !
When I was a student pilot, I used to sit on the couch and "chair fly" practicing the maneuvers and procedures going through the motion of each; that saved me lots of time/ money trying practicing them in the actual airplane which costed "$145 an hour!! Mind practicing really works!!
Mental practice is so true and big! I would have times where I wouldn’t play basketball because of other things but mentally practiced moves and court vision in different scenarios and it keeps me still elite with people that have been practicing the entire time! This holds true over a span like 10 years for me! Crazy man
Ive been doing the last step without knowing it, everytime i see a piece of art online i imagine myself doing it and how i would draw it and save those mental steps, so with time i improved drawing without really drawing as much, only when i feel like grabbing a piece of paper and pen, really cool
1. Focus on the task at hand, no distractions 2. Go slowly through the motions, then increase speed 3. Multiple and frequent practices, with breaks 4. Mental practice
Save 5 minutes by reading this: Tip 1; Focus on the activity alone, turn off social media. It is not only the amount of time you practice, it is also the quality and effectiveness. 2. Start out slowly doing the practice and gradually increase the speed of the quality repetition, than you have a better chance of doing it correctly. 3. Imagine yourself succeeding the task, practice in your mind. :) Good luck! :)
I'm taking notes. Effective practice is consistent and intensely focused. Slow practice and visual practice are so important and beneficial... Thanks for the lesson. I'm going to use this for personal and professional topics.
02:05 "There are many theories that attempt to quantify...of practice to master a skill"....the answer to that question is 1,000. 03:55 "Just by imagining it." This is called 'visualization'. I came to see if this video would teach me something new. The only new thing i learned is that so many people don't know How to practice effectively...for just about anything, that this video needed to be made.
The best piece of advice I ever had on practicing was to focus on very specific tasks. As an example, if you are looking to learn how to play a song it's easy to start again from the beginning of the song when you screw up. You then become a master of playing the intro. Similarly, you might focus on playing the entire bar when you really might just want to focus on the chord changes. Isolate where you are weak, and practice on that to the exclusion of all else.
4:13 yes it is so true. When I was learning some figure skating elements, I couldn't do the "3 turns" and I was losing my balance all the time because I had no time to go ice rink and practise the elements (2 hours per week). I So I was watching figure skating competitions and looking athletes' movements carefully about how they move with which part of their muscles at when and thinking/dreaming myself as if I was the athlete skating there and doing the movements carefully. I thought/dreamed that I was skating over and over again for only one element. One week later when I go to ice rink, I did it and I did so well that I was surprised. I didn't lost my balance. it was just perfect. And I showed the movement/element to a coach and she said I did great. I became very happy.😀❤⛸
Awesome story! I'm a competitive figure skater who has been skating nationally. Imagery training and mental training is HUGE in our sport. Especially in such a dangerous sport, we need to practice efficiently and effectively to not only protect ourselves but also others. Slat ing, and almost most other sports, go beyond the sport itself. I have done other activities ranging from all types of dancing, like ballet, tap, hip-hop, and more, as well as off-ice training such as Zumba, Yoga, etc. Psychology, Nutrition, rest, and so much more all to help you perform better. It takes a lot of work, but don't ever let others tell you that you can't do it. I work with a skater who is doing her jumps at 83 if she can do that I'm sure you can too. Just enjoy it, even if you're going competitive, just enjoy the ride. Cause its definitely a rollercoaster 😄
Taking time to practice really slow is super helpful. Yesterday I uploaded a video about me not being able to complete overkill in beatsaber. Today while practicing the map I got motivated to take some extra time and to put the speed down to 25% for the parts I often failed at. I slowly turned up the speed and in the end I could do most parts at full speed. All the effort I put into it in the past two weeks where I was trying to learn the song at 80% to 100% speed was way less effective. I was expecting to learn the movements by flailing my arms randomly and failing miserably. I never learned how to do it right. I still need more practice, but I now know how to practice 😇
@dread true no in the sense that practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. So if you practice something with bad form you will have perfect bad form.
What he meant (I think) was: Practice correctly. Incorrect movement can be trained as well. When I train for a new skill (rope jumping right now) I focus on doing it as correctly as possible to strengthen that correct behaviour more than the incorrect one. Otherwise my body will adapt to bad form instead of good.
I really like this kind of videos in the morning. While brushing my teeth and waking up I just listen to this handsome voice and looking forward to inhale all the information it gives. 😍
Daniel Coyle explained the myelination process in his book, The Talent Code. I absolutely love that book and will definitely recommend it to anyone who's practicing literally anything.
I think that there is a mental state you produce when you want to practice something. It's like a mental softness that helps us to relax and concentrate. When you do it, you must forget everything and everyone. You just try to calm down and subtly pratice that thing you want to get better. Of course silence is important too. I hope it helps someone.
because our brain is wired to stray away from exhausting, mental tasks that force our brain to work and think. Our brain ALWAYS wants the "easy tasks" and so we prefer watching Netflix on the sofa rather than practicing on something.
Unless it's something we're really passionate about, people tend to tire of practicing since its very repetitive and thus considered boring. Even people tire of watching the same thing again and again, even though the activity doesn't require energy nor make us tired.
In my studies of neurology, repetition encourages new neuronal growth forming new connections, thus hard-wiring the brain. This takes a minimal of 6 weeks to 6 months of repetition. When it comes to physical things (ex: throwing a ball) this hard-wiring is mostly done in the cerebellum. All the other advice is sound scientifically speaking.
Wow I didn’t know practicing in my head was actually an effective method! I did that before going on stage to perform drums for the band, I was just looking at the score and going through it again and again cuz I was nervous
i kind of inverted the practice in your brain,so it said in video "after we practiced the movements (physically)we can practice it in our brain",so i am footballer for example,i learn a movement in my head,then i do it in real life.its really help me a lot

What i have learned today : 1. Focus on one task don't switch it frequently. 2. Take Breaks in between. 3. Keep Practicing at the edge of your current skills. 4. Think about it in your mind that will help it even more. 5. Start out slowly, coordination built with repetition whether good or bad, then increase your pace gradually.
I’ve made more progress in my gaming skill in 2 years than I have in the last 17 years combined by implementing effective practice. It doesn’t matter how long you do something nearly as much as how effective your practice is.
Sorry to tell you, but the most important, interesting and demanding part of programming is usually done with pencil and paper. Huge whiteboard is prefered but who has those, right?
This is excellent - interestingly I learned a song one evening before going to bed, I only played it once but next morning I was able to play it a lot better even though I had only practiced once. I believe in the rehearsal by imagining , makes sence.
1. Minimize the distractions (even in your craft) 2. Start out slowly 3. Gradually increase the speed of repetitions without compromising accuracy 4. Frequent repetitions with breaks 5. Divide your time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration 6. Practice in your brain in vivid detail (only if you can't practice physically)
To practice effectively: 1. Practice Consistently - with no distractions -small intense sessions with breaks 2. Practice Slowly - use perfect form, gradually increase speed. 3. practice in the mind - imagining the activity after learning proper form reinforces "Muscle Memory"
Keep in mind that studying academics and practicing are not necessarily the same thing. The major thing that translates between them is breaking it up through the day. Studies have shown you can only focus on studying between 30-50min at a time and the brain only needs a 5min break to reset. So break up your studying about every half hr with a 5 min walk around to retain more information.

The importance of practising with good technique cannot be overstated - this is something I have learned recently when practising playing musical instruments, with regards to being aware of my Proprioception and using only the correct muscles/joints for the job, not involving incorrect muscles from elsewhere which give the superficial illusion of strength but actually just add tension and discourage building the correct muscles and thus prevent effective development.

I trained in a dojo in which the word "speed" was never spoken. We became faster naturally by repetition. We also didn't try to be faster, we just became faster without thinking about it. I realized this because the first time I saw higher-ranking students practicing there I was amazed at their speed. A few years later, I was one of those higher-ranking students, and it suddenly struck me one day that I was now one of those fast students I had observed earlier. All without giving speed a thought.
I have also found that mental repetition of a task can program the body to perform that task without actual training. When I started climbing I "taught" myself to self-arrest (with an ice ax) by reading descriptions of the techniques in mountaineering books. I studied one book in particular. I never physically practiced. But the first time I slipped on a steep snow slope, I not only immediately self-arrested, but I saw the page on self-arrest from that particular book right in front of my face as I did it.
Nice experience

Focus on the task at hand.
Minimize any distractions. Moblie, notifications, people, etc.
Start slowly in the practice session.
Gradually increase the speed while focusing on accuracy.
Frequent repetations with a lot of breaks.
Practice in your brain in vivid detail. 🙂

I believe he said "alloted" breaks, not "a lot of" breaks. You do want breaks, but necessarily many of them, and it's good designate (allot) them to focus the timeboxed session.
Effective Practice:
1. Focus, minimize distraction
2. Slow high quality start
3. Timed sessions with frequent breaks
4. Practice in your mind
Soundss neat!

The video should also highlight the importance of sleep. A proper 8 hours of sleep boosts the effect of the day's practice your learning by huge, huge amounts, whether it be physical or mental practice. Sleep also restitutes your body and mind, meaning you'll be better equipped to learn the next day. It is essential to have a steady, healthy sleep schedule.

You are very right.
its not a matter of how much u sleep, its a matter of when u sleep.. theres melatonin and others stuff getting produced when its time to sleep.. i will always remember what my biology teacher told us a few years ago - practice going to sleep before 11 at night, because thats when the most melatonin is getting produced and every hour u sleep before 11 counts as 2 hours.. maybe im tripping but whenever i do that i need a lot less time of sleep than when i go to sleep at 1-3 in the morning.. try it
Sleep quality matters the most. You can sleep for 8 hours, but the quality of the sleep you got in those 8 hours is bad you'll still feel like you only slept 4-5 hours.

Summarize: How to practice effective in anything?
1. Focus is the key, when you focus on the thing you do, you have chance to achieve a state of flow, which is make you action super effective
2. Good thing take time. You need to spend your time to practice fequently, the more time you spend on it, the better you become. Be patient!
3. Practice imagination
Thanks TED for some useful information
That fact about imaging as well as physical practice achieving similar gains is interesting. As an artist who thinks he procrastinates too much, I spend a lot of time mentally going through what I’m going to draw/paint and how I’m going to do it BEFORE I start and that appears to actually be a good thing, not wasted time. 😀
I'm the same way. I'vebeen trying to implement the "finished is better than perfect" idea
maybe wasted time is what reinforces time well spent
How I should study: Study the material consistently everyday until the test.
How I actually study: Cram an hour before the test and hope for the best

Ive been doing the last step without knowing it, everytime i see a piece of art online i imagine myself doing it and how i would draw it and save those mental steps, so with time i improved drawing without really drawing as much, only when i feel like grabbing a piece of paper and pen, really cool
1. Focus on the task at hand, no distractions
2. Go slowly through the motions, then increase speed
3. Multiple and frequent practices, with breaks
4. Mental practice
Save 5 minutes by reading this:
Tip 1; Focus on the activity alone, turn off social media. It is not only the amount of time you practice, it is also the quality and effectiveness.
2. Start out slowly doing the practice and gradually increase the speed of the quality repetition, than you have a better chance of doing it correctly.
3. Imagine yourself succeeding the task, practice in your mind. :)
Good luck! :)

03:55 "Just by imagining it." This is called 'visualization'.
I came to see if this video would teach me something new. The only new thing i learned is that so many people don't know How to practice effectively...for just about anything, that this video needed to be made.
just want to say this is one of the best animations you guys done.
The best piece of advice I ever had on practicing was to focus on very specific tasks.
As an example, if you are looking to learn how to play a song it's easy to start again from the beginning of the song when you screw up. You then become a master of playing the intro.
Similarly, you might focus on playing the entire bar when you really might just want to focus on the chord changes.
Isolate where you are weak, and practice on that to the exclusion of all else.
4:13 yes it is so true. When I was learning some figure skating elements, I couldn't do the "3 turns" and I was losing my balance all the time because I had no time to go ice rink and practise the elements (2 hours per week). I So I was watching figure skating competitions and looking athletes' movements carefully about how they move with which part of their muscles at when and thinking/dreaming myself as if I was the athlete skating there and doing the movements carefully. I thought/dreamed that I was skating over and over again for only one element. One week later when I go to ice rink, I did it and I did so well that I was surprised. I didn't lost my balance. it was just perfect. And I showed the movement/element to a coach and she said I did great. I became very happy.😀❤⛸
Awesome story! I'm a competitive figure skater who has been skating nationally. Imagery training and mental training is HUGE in our sport. Especially in such a dangerous sport, we need to practice efficiently and effectively to not only protect ourselves but also others. Slat ing, and almost most other sports, go beyond the sport itself. I have done other activities ranging from all types of dancing, like ballet, tap, hip-hop, and more, as well as off-ice training such as Zumba, Yoga, etc. Psychology, Nutrition, rest, and so much more all to help you perform better.
It takes a lot of work, but don't ever let others tell you that you can't do it. I work with a skater who is doing her jumps at 83 if she can do that I'm sure you can too. Just enjoy it, even if you're going competitive, just enjoy the ride. Cause its definitely a rollercoaster 😄
Wow that's nice darling!!

Taking time to practice really slow is super helpful. Yesterday I uploaded a video about me not being able to complete overkill in beatsaber. Today while practicing the map I got motivated to take some extra time and to put the speed down to 25% for the parts I often failed at. I slowly turned up the speed and in the end I could do most parts at full speed. All the effort I put into it in the past two weeks where I was trying to learn the song at 80% to 100% speed was way less effective. I was expecting to learn the movements by flailing my arms randomly and failing miserably. I never learned how to do it right. I still need more practice, but I now know how to practice 😇

"Coordination is built with repetitions, whether correct, or incorrect."
Hear that folks?
@dread true no in the sense that practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. So if you practice something with bad form you will have perfect bad form.
This is why an experienced teacher can help. They stop the bad habits before they become habits. Much more difficult to do later.
@Daniel kader fck the correct form ,, improvise the whole damn thing and impress people with it.
What he meant (I think) was:
Practice correctly. Incorrect movement can be trained as well. When I train for a new skill (rope jumping right now) I focus on doing it as correctly as possible to strengthen that correct behaviour more than the incorrect one. Otherwise my body will adapt to bad form instead of good.
Once again, please?

I think that there is a mental state you produce when you want to practice something. It's like a mental softness that helps us to relax and concentrate. When you do it, you must forget everything and everyone. You just try to calm down and subtly pratice that thing you want to get better. Of course silence is important too. I hope it helps someone.
This is the best 5 minutes I've spent this week.
The strange thing is that, given how beneficial and rewarding practice can be, why do we have such a resistance to it?
because our brain is wired to stray away from exhausting, mental tasks that force our brain to work and think. Our brain ALWAYS wants the "easy tasks" and so we prefer watching Netflix on the sofa rather than practicing on something.
Unless it's something we're really passionate about, people tend to tire of practicing since its very repetitive and thus considered boring.
Even people tire of watching the same thing again and again, even though the activity doesn't require energy nor make us tired.
@@alexei9122 Yes, I think you're right.
@@gerrylynne6830 I agree.
Cus it’s boring and frustrating and there’s no point if you’ll still be rubbish at the thing years later (my case at least)
In my studies of neurology, repetition encourages new neuronal growth forming new connections, thus hard-wiring the brain. This takes a minimal of 6 weeks to 6 months of repetition. When it comes to physical things (ex: throwing a ball) this hard-wiring is mostly done in the cerebellum. All the other advice is sound scientifically speaking.

What i have learned today :
1. Focus on one task don't switch it frequently.
2. Take Breaks in between.
3. Keep Practicing at the edge of your current skills.
4. Think about it in your mind that will help it even more.
5. Start out slowly, coordination built with repetition whether good or bad, then increase your pace gradually.
I’ve made more progress in my gaming skill in 2 years than I have in the last 17 years combined by implementing effective practice. It doesn’t matter how long you do something nearly as much as how effective your practice is.

This is excellent - interestingly I learned a song one evening before going to bed, I only played it once but next morning I was able to play it a lot better even though I had only practiced once. I believe in the rehearsal by imagining , makes sence.
1. Minimize the distractions (even in your craft)
2. Start out slowly
3. Gradually increase the speed of repetitions without compromising accuracy
4. Frequent repetitions with breaks
5. Divide your time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration
6. Practice in your brain in vivid detail (only if you can't practice physically)
To practice effectively:
1. Practice Consistently
- with no distractions
-small intense sessions with breaks
2. Practice Slowly
- use perfect form, gradually increase speed.
3. practice in the mind
- imagining the activity after learning proper form reinforces "Muscle Memory"
Wrong
Keep in mind that studying academics and practicing are not necessarily the same thing. The major thing that translates between them is breaking it up through the day. Studies have shown you can only focus on studying between 30-50min at a time and the brain only needs a 5min break to reset. So break up your studying about every half hr with a 5 min walk around to retain more information.
