Coaching Advice
If you’re struggling to learn new things, Emilie suggests these actions to build a learning habit:
1) Think about micromastery, such as learning how to perfect an omelet instead of learning how to cook
2) Break down what you’re trying to learn into the smallest things possible and start there.
