- repeating things you're already "good" at and staying in your comfort zone ("spinning your wheel")
- practising things that are too advanced too early (e.g. you can't build a basic figure with primitives but are trying to learn anatomical intricasies
- practising things that are wrong and thus building bad habits.

The key concept here is deliberate practice. Practice the stuff you're not good at until you get better. Stay in the comfort zone when you're motivation is down and you need to have some fun- otherwise always push your boundaries. Don't cultivate "bad habits" (e.g. colour picking when studying etc.).


Thanks for sharing your insight, deliberate practice is really something I have been looking into as off lately. Like understanding what exactly it is, so its nice to see how all of these knowledge you guys are sharing connect with another.

Once again, thanks for your reply, noted down your message.
