Oftentimes the way to learn complex real-life skills is to break them up into smaller interactions that you can gamify to get that immediate dopamine high of a successful intermediate result. This is a large portion of my job as an engineering manager - breaking up complex strategic goals into an MVP launch + follow-ons, ensuring that projects are scaled appropriately to the skill level of the people doing them, and rewarding folks with bonuses and promotions for successful milestones on the path to that strategic objective.
