Abstract

Coyle's framework: chunk it, fail to learn, reach for repetition, feel it. Deep practice produces myelin, the insulation around neural circuits.

Key points

• Rule 1 — Chunk it: break the skill into smallest possible sub-skills.
• Rule 2 — Fail to learn: embrace errors as feedback.
• Rule 3 — Reach for repetition: high reps at the edge of ability.
• Rule 4 — Feel it: connect skill to emotional/sensory anchor.
• Myelin grows around practiced neural circuits.
