“mindframe” in one word or “frame of mind”—for the task.
mind frame is a mental attitude or outlook.
it encompasses the particular way someone thinks or feels about something, and deeply influences one’s behaviour.
It’s all about shaping my mind frames to achieve my goals.
There are three main frames to consider to become a “master mindframer”:
In this particular case, having a **growth mindset** means having the deep belief that growing happens through small, incremental steps, rather than big overnight victories.
is a great article by Steph Smith, a fellow maker, about “the sequences of events that seem minimal at each juncture, but compound into major gains.”
In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.
Metacognition is simply “cognition about cognition”, or simply put “thinking about thinking”.
Metacognition is your knowledge of what you know and don’t know, as well as all the strategies you use for learning and problem-solving. Mnemonic techniques, study plans, productivity tricks, or even how difficult you perceive a task to be, are all part of metacognition.
Finally, self-authorship is the ability to define and express your own personal authority.
you are able to rely on your own internal voice to make decisions on a daily basis.
mean, look at the Learning Compass from the OECD,
“defines the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that learners need to fulfil their potential and contribute to the well-being of their communities and the planet.”
There are four steps to the mindframing method: 1. Pact 2. Act 3. React 4. Impact
I’m personally a big proponent of learning and building in public,
A pact—which
French—means in this case that you are committing to regularly spend time working towards your goal.
just that you will be dedicating time on a regular basis to actions
example is 100daysofcode.
at least one thing every day that contributes towards their goal of learning how to code.
Second, you need to act.
The only thing you could do wrong is to do nothing.
Open a book and read one page? That’s progress. Watch a tutorial video? That’s awesome.
Each step you take brings you closer to the person you want to become.
you need to react.
internalising the concepts you have previously engaged with by creating your own content.
newbie—who are you to share your thoughts about a topic that’s so new to you?
a blog post, a short podcast, a live stream, a thread on Twitter, an email to your list.
impact. Once you feel familiar enough—which means that you can grasp the concepts and can articulate them, but still feel very uncomfortable using them—you should start creating something bigger.
These will probably not be very good at first, but you will learn an incredible amount by pushing yourself to not only be able to explain concepts, but by having a deep enough understanding to create something of your own.
