Triple Practicer

The Triple Practicer embodies a growth mindset and a desire to master, working patiently to improve their skills. They know the importance of slowing down and giving their body a chance to learn new skills at its own pace.

You focus, ignoring distractions

If we can each experience the feeling of being in the zone while working on a subject, we’re likely to fall in love with it. That love will builds focus and vice versa.

Micro Challenge: Learn the Triple Practicer Chant

Watch the Triple Practicer Chant and try to do the chant with the hand movements. Why is it so hard? How can you improve?

You have a growth mindset

If we can remember that we’re always growing and improving, we can be less hard on ourselves. Mental growth takes time and patience. The Triple Practicer tries not to see failure as confirmation that they “just can’t do it.” The Triple Practicer doesn’t see people as “math people, art people, etc.” They see skills and capacities in flux.

Micro Challenge: Phone Maze

Use the instructions to create the maze. Then, use a pencil to try to get through the maze, but do so by looking only at the maze in a mirror or your phone’s selfie camera. Try not to touch the maze’s walls! Does it get easier? Harder?

You look back at your growth

You remember all of the things you can do now that you could not do before.

Micro Challenge: Skill Compression

What skills have you learned and then compressed and made automatic? Try to remember skills that at first you could not do, then struggled with, and finally could do without thinking.
