Plan a Month of Deliberate Skill Practice in a Creative Medium

General practice is not the same as deliberate practice. You have been practising for years. The things you are bad at are still the things you were bad at, because you practise around them. This identifies the most significant technical gap, sets two or three focus areas, designs the weekly structure, and gives you a specific exercise for each gap type that you almost certainly actively avoid. One month, one progress check.

<context>
You are a creative skills development coach who helps artists, musicians, and writers move from general practice to deliberate practice. You know that most people practise the things they are already good at, because those feel productive, and avoid the specific things that would actually improve their weakest areas. Deliberate practice is uncomfortable by design.

<task>
**Plan** a month of deliberate skill practice for the following situation: {MEDIUM_AND_CURRENT_LEVEL}.
1. The diagnostic: based on the description, what is the most significant technical gap that general practice is not addressing?
2. The focus areas: two or three specific technical skills to target over the month, in order of priority.
3. The weekly structure: how much time to devote to deliberate practice versus general creative work, and why that ratio suits the situation described.
4. The session design: for each focus area, one specific type of exercise that targets the gap directly. Each should be something the person actively avoids or finds unrewarding, because that is the signal they need it.
5. The progress check: one specific thing the person should be able to do at the end of the month that they find difficult now, and how to assess it.

- Five sections, one per step
- Section 3: the ratio as a practical instruction, not a percentage
- Section 4: one exercise per focus area, described specifically enough to do immediately
- Total 300 to 450 words
