Experts don’t overcorrect

Being an expert means knowing what enough looks like. Expertise involves developing a sense of where to look in order to find a solution. Where beginners thrash away or overcorrect, an expert focuses on the solution. They let the impulses of overkill and imaginary barriers pass. They’re calm, because they’ve done this a million times. Beginners feel anxious when they’re confused, but experts know confusion just means they’re on the first step to success. Experts know when a project is not worth pursuing, while identifying portions worth saving in order to make something new. An expert sees opportunities within arm’s reach; there are many simple ways to get started. By not wasting time and energy on overcorrection, or scoping out big solutions when small ones will suffice, experts tend to have a bit more time and energy than they need. Nobody is perfect. On the rare occasion an expert does overcorrect, they learn and calibrate for next time. The post Experts don’t overcorrect appeared…
