>Learning any new skill involves relatively brief spurts of progress, each of which is followed by a slight decline to a plateau somewhat higher in most cases than that which preceded it…the upward spurts vary; the plateaus have their own dips and rises along the way…To take the master’s journey, you have to practice diligently, striving to hone your skills, to attain new levels of competence. But while doing so–and this is the inexorable–fact of the journey–you also have to be willing to spend most of your time on a plateau, to keep practicing even when you seem to be getting nowhere. (Mastery, p. 14-15).

Plateaus are inevitable, what makes the difference is accepting them and still working and studying regardless. That Watts video is pretty good, and he talks about the failed solution a lot of people try which is to work harder and study harder to try push out of the plateau whenever they get to it, which leads to burning out or losing enjoyment in learning. Would recommend watching, just listen to them in the background while you do your drawing today.
