Mental Reps
#practice #note/develop🍃 #visualization
During high school, Steve Wozniak would design different types of computers for fun. When asked why he designed those computers over and over again he said, "I could never build one, all I could do was design them on paper and try to get better and better." It was because he couldn't build himself a computer that he took to mental reps.
His skills got so good because he was constantly competing against himself.
On paper he created a design no one else had done because building it was risky and most people wouldn’t use it. These ideas couldn’t be taught in schools. Using the only resource Steve had, his head, he was able to take the mental reps required to learn and teach himself.
