The thing that you have unconscious competence in is the thing you're so good at that it's effortless to you and you don't even notice it.

It is exactly this that makes it so hard to make a career out of it.

1/ You're not aware of it so it can't be systemized or monetized 👇🏽

2/ You don't know why you do it: you feel compelled to do it because its so easy to demonstrate mastery
3/ you can't explain how you do it: your mind compresses 100 steps into one because it is unconscious mastery. if someone asks you about it an interview you will most likely...

..not be able to sell it in an interview because you don't "know" the steps explicitly
4/ for me this thing seems to be connecting people, selling and telling stories around products and industries I'm actually excited by with high degree of autonomy (right now crypto)

5/ what I'm doing is keeping a log of whenever I'm doing an activity that's feels like a breeze that's adding high value. And a log of what I think about in during runs.

6/ this is great for self awareness and when/if I ever need to articulate it for a mission/career growth.

what are things you do that you have unconscious competence in?

and how did you figure it out? 🧐
