How to learn anything in 20 hours: My thought::

This is a personal understanding which I got from this video at Tedx talk by Josh Kaufman

You have free time just it feels that you have no free time.

I am very much enthusistic to learn new things.

go to the book store,library how to learn new things?

How many time takes to learn something new : 10000 hours

What we say?

I have no time: excuse :p

expert level performance: 10000

most time practicing,most learning,improvising

experts are built

Outliers

10000 rule everything but need to be a expert

It's not true,

performance = 1/practice

how good you are = saturated curve practice_time

to be a reasonably good 20 hours

Rapid skill acquisition

What you want to do with this skill?

1.Deconstruct the skill: Required component
2.Learn enough to self correct coose 3 to 5 books/courses don't use to it procastinate. do learn enough self edit.

3.Remove practice barriers :: mobile,tvs,everything

4.Practice at least 20 hours.

Feeling stupid is a barrier overcome it stick with the practice.

The major barrier to learn anything is not intellectual, it's emotional.

Find "the" skill you want to "master" in 20 hours, read up on it, write about it, practice the skill and teach someone else what you have learned. If you can, you have "mastered" that skill. very doable if the skill can be "mastered" in 20 hours.

Find "the" skill you want to "master" in 10,000 hours, read up on it, write about it, practice the skill and teach someone else what you have learned. If you can, you have "mastered" that skill. very doable if the skill can be "mastered" in 10,000 hours.

Isn't this just about how "expansive" you make that skill you want to master?

This is a good idea to do if he can identify the skill he loves...
