This is a great list. I'd also add:
- get a coach or mentor or "virtual mentor" to study the lives and habits of those who have gone before as well as get direct feedback on your own efforts.
- compare notes with colleagues who are similarly passionate and striving and around the same level.
- break the skill into microskills. What do you need to learn to to learn the bigger skill.
