Good Distinction

Philip,

The distinction you make is important.

I am a keen amateur magician. My "practice" sessions can amount to messing with a deck of cards. At the end I've learnt little but have enjoyed myself.

When I practice deliberately I achieve something - I find some tiny difference of action or a new handling.

Doing something unthinkingly but often will not produce mastery. Spending time on critical evaluation and with real focus on improvement dramatically improves your chances.

Andrew
