Lean Into Errors and Frustration During Learning

Expect and embrace errors as the basis of neuroplasticity. Continue practicing past the point of frustration rather than quitting immediately; after reaching frustration in a motor task, continue for roughly 10 to 100 more trials. During a learning bout, keep making and correcting errors for about 7 to 30 minutes, and if possible learn to find some reward or excitement in that frustration.

1 / 1

Making errors over and over and over again is the route to shaping your nervous system so that it performs better and better and better... errors are the basis for neuroplasticity and for learning.
