Twenty Hours
(1) Determine your desired outcome (what is it precisely that you want to be able to do?); (2) Purpose to commit to a minimum of twenty hours (necessary to get over the initial obstacles/hardship/frustration barrier); (3) Deconstruct the Skill (break down the skill into smaller chunks and break those chunks down into smaller ones, etc.); (4) Learn enough to self correct (Get three to five resources on the subject, read as you go along, don’t delay just to read, read so that you can keep going); (5) Remove distractions and other obstacles; (6) Practice the most important pieces first (when pieces are equally important, and not necessarily sequential, practice the easiest ones first); (7) Practice for 45m a day for a month…. period; (8) Learn, quickly, to get over the emotional barriers (the fears of looking or feeling stupid / the temptation to give up / the proclivity to switch to something new).
