The Doing Deficit: How Deliberate Action Outperforms Passive Learning →


Writer

Anne-Laure Le Cunff

Summary

Anne-Laure Le Cunff explores our tendency to passively consume information without actively applying it through deliberate practice. While we understand the value of practice, emotional hurdles like lack of immediate results, discomfort with uncertainty, and fear of failure often prevent us from committing to real, tangible action. Le Cunff proposes strategies to bridge this 'doing deficit': start small with manageable actions, focus on the process over outcomes, track progress, embrace discomfort as part of growth, and find accountability partners. Mastery requires showing up consistently, even when progress feels slow, and finding joy in the journey of skill development.
