The Difference Between Experience and Expert Performance
A fantastic post from Kim Sbarcea on why experience doesn’t necessarily help you perform any better, based on a Time Magazine article. It turns out performance comes from hard, reflective practice, pushing at the edges of their ability. This chimes with a theme in Richard Sennett’s new book The Craftsman, which I’ve just started:
“The good craftsman, moreover, uses solutions to uncover new territory; problem solving and problem finding are intimately related in his or her mind.”

thx Patrick
- interestingly, I’ve just bought Sennett’s new book as I love his previous stuff, particularly The Corrosion of Character.
