Read Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers, 10000 hours guideline/rule. Hope this helps.

Buddahist have had a similar concept for centuries, they call it a "state of no-mind", where you've perfected a skill to such a point that you don't think about when applying it.

Maslow proposed 4 stages/levels of learning (similar to the motivation hierargy): 1. Unconcious Incompetence 2. Conscious incompetence, 3. Conscious competence, 4. Unconscious competence. The latter is when things happen instinctively without you even thinking about it.

Sounds like learning to drive. Is there a book I can read on these stages. Please advise.

Bottom line - you're not going to develop unconscious competence by reading about it, just like you didn't suddenly learn how to string a sentence together. You only develop it by immersing yourself in stuff that you have an interest in and arguably some underlying competence in.

important to know in what stage you are as a trader sothat you dont give up just as you are moving to unconscious competence though.

from last nights DBN presentation, which is where I assume the Q comes from ..

Unconscious Incompetence
The individual neither understands nor knows how to do something, nor recognizes the deficit, nor has a desire to address it.

Conscious Incompetence
Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, without yet addressing it.

Conscious Competence
The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires a great deal of consciousness or concentration.

Unconscious Competence
The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it becomes "second nature" and can be performed easily (often without concentrating too deeply). He or she may or may not be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

The Lebombo bone is the oldest known mathematical artifact. It dates from BC and consists of 29 distinct notches that were deliberately cut into a baboon's fibula. It was discovered within a cave in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland.
