Good enough plateau

This is the point in a habit that our brain will outsource cognitive load and make something automatic.

This is extremely helpful because thinking is quite taxing on the brain, we don’t need to think about driving or brushing our teeth every time, we allow muscle memory to take over.

When we want to approach mastery, this creates a plateau because we are no longer actively engaging in our activity.
