Practice is a form of systematic training in which a particular behaviour is repeated indefinitely in order to build mastery. Dependable practice is a specific form of practice that has a number of features that differentiate it from other forms of practice or other forms of behavioural intervention.

In Dependable practice the person overseeing the practice and the person performing the practice are one in the same; we say that they both “work on” and “work in” the practice. A Dependable practice is generally catalysed when a person decides they’ve had enough and they want to make a change in their life. They want something different and have decided they’re going to take responsibility for making it happen.

::Practice pays twice. No. Practice begets capability (fitness) begets ability to practice. Begets closing the [[Meaning Gap 🔘]]::

2. To develop mastery in the competencies that are an essential means of realising a desired outcome.
3. The practice as an end in itself; to enjoy the practice itself
