For example write a few compositions for yourself. Take some songs, you've already written and write them down perfectly, but unassigned. Say, write three of them, or ten. Your mind will have no other choice but to provide you with the efficient way to do it. You are lucky in that your joy depends on learnable skill, not on other people.
Thanks for the great idea. Yes I am lucky for that. What joy depends on other people? Don't you think you can always improve yourself?
