Anchor creative purpose to the daily practice of showing up rather than to measurable progress, because plateaus constitute the majority of any mastery trajectory.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve — (habit automaticity develops along logarithmic curve with diminishing returns) and Expert performance in complex domains requires deliberate (deliberate practice is required for expert performance). The principle prescribes HOW to maintain motivation through inevitable plateaus - shift the evaluation criterion from outcome to process. This is actionable guidance for sustaining mastery pursuit.
