NLP model in learning a new skill

Again, I found this piece of information in Rich Schefren's blog that's very pertinent to all newbies who are learning a totally new skill. Great piece of work!

Learning a new skills is divided into four stages

Stage 1 - Unconscious Incompetence. This is where you don’t
know how to do something and you don’t even know that you don’t know.

Stage 2 - Conscious Incompetence. This is where you now
know all the different things you don’t know and
you begin to work on learning them.

Stage 3 - Conscious Competence. This is where you now know
what you need to know, you can do the skills
necessary, but it takes all of your concentration.

Stage 4 - Unconscious Competence. This is where you can now
do the skills necessary without thinking about it, it’s now a habit


So what you need to do is
-- to know which stage you are in and then focus on what you
need to do to move to the next stage.
