Shannon, don't know if you will read this or if it will help at all but I just got done with this book https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/074327746...h+waitzkin
The art of learning by Josh waitzkin.
It's absolutely remarkable and frames learning in such a powerful way. This is a guy who became a chess grand master, and then an international martial arts champion. In it he describes his process for aquiring mastery.
Another book, the four hour chef by Tim ferris, talks about how Tim did things like winning a world flamenco championship (from no background at all) to investing well. He describes how to go from zero to operating in the top 10/5% of performers in any discipline and actually seems to show that it's not very hard, but that getting to the top 1% like someone like Josh waitzkin actually is very difficult.
One thing practical that both suggest is training so that you use your energy more efficiently for performance (since learning any discipline seems to rest on maximising the use of exertion vs. Rest and recovery cycles.) I think this would be hard to achieve with a learning sub but perhaps at least maximising a persons ability to recover in a short space of time would be useful.
I'm guessing from what you've said already though you're already there with the goals you want to achieve with the sub. But there it is anyway.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
