Learning to learn is a concept that involves a combination of skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values that help people control and improve their own learning.
Q. In your professional work are you focused on asking:
“How do I do this better?” or “Why do I still do it this way?”

Hi William - I believe the two are intertwined. I aim to set a goal outside of my current comfort zone, putting it into practice for improving, and getting feedback from my peers to push myself further. Saving Changes...

Thanks Kimberly!
Re: "I believe the two are intertwined."
Actually, they are quite different.
The first focusses on what we have been doing, and is accepted as "OK."
The later challenges the comfort of the status quo.
Cheers,
Bill
p.s. At one time the expression "Re-Engineering" described the later. Saving Changes...

Bill,
“How do I do this better?” can be a gateway premise to the more challenge-based proposition of “Why do I still do it this way.”
At the same time, “Why do I still do it this way?” can be an afterthought from a failure, implying that one never considered the notion, “How do I do this better.”
In summary: “Learning to learn how to challenge oneself” is the key to perpetual growth coupled with one’s ability to admit and enjoy admitting that they can be wrong.
