Take that (not) Einstein!
If you’re practicing the exact same way over and over you’re doing something wrong.
That’s not always true. Finding the optimal way to do something is only one potential aspect of practice. Another is getting to a level where you can do it consistently and on demand, over and over and over, without missing a beat.
And even once you’ve reached that level, that skill can be lost or degrade over time if you dont keep at it, so repeatedly performing the same motions in the exact same way becomes pretty much necessary in order to maintain your skill level.
If you were looking for consistency, that is by definition you looking for the same result, which is not covered in the definition of insanity.
Not necessarily. If you are learning a skill that requires accuracy (e.g. darts), you will sdo the same thing ovre and over. In the beginning the result will be that you will hardly be able to hit the board at all, and after a ton of practice the result will be that you will hit where you want to hit.
So by doing the same thing over and over again you will get a different result.
If your results are different, then by definition what you did was not exactly the same.
Ok, let’s try this a different way:
“I’m gonna get a drink.” - “I’m gonna do the same.”
Is the second person going to immitate every single motion of the first person?
Or will the second person just also get a drink, maybe not even the same drink?
