1. Deconstruct the skill. Decide what you exactly want to do with skill and break the skill, practice the most important skills. 2. Learn enough to correct yourself. Practice just enough to notice when you do mistakes and get on the right path. 3. Remove the distractions. Disable notifications and remove all the distractions. 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Try to do 20 hours of deliberate practice. Stick with it no matter what. Additional:- The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't an intellectual one, but it's emotional.
1. Deconstruct the skill. 2. Learn enough to self-correct. 3. Remove practice barriers. 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Man, you are great!!!!!! Loved your ted talk!
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill. 1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary) 2. Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes. 3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry. 4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.
Thanks to you sir. I come back to write this 3 months (- +) after i watched this video. When i was learning english, i've tried to memorize all the words and vocab as much as possible, but after months i still can't speak or even give a comment in youtube or instagram post in english. After watched this video i realize, i don't need all the words in oxford dictionary to start speaking, like that ukelele chords, know some important words is enough for you to speak in foreign language, and that's what i do now.
congratulations! I'm a native speaker of Chinese and English is my second language. I have a hard time in learning it due to the tradition way of teaching in my school. how I wish all my teacher watch Ted (there is no Ted back then). I found another good way to learn English let me share with u. don't try to remember words as it is very discouraged. instead try read the books /newspaper that is your level. your level means in one page there is no more than 10 unknown words to u. and dun hurry to search the meaning of every single words u duno. just guess the meaning and move on. if u feel happy just look up for 1 - 2 words u find interesting. that's my way of learning. just sharing 😊👍
@@danielliew2192 I am a 17 y.o girl. I just watched this Video because I got struggle in learning chinese, I really liked to learn chinese but, I found it hard to study and understand the 8000+ words, in Chinese there are so many kind of tones of words that we used to speak in dialogue and I was like I'm getting tired, and close to giving up. But I don't think I can quit because I really want to be a native speaker in Chinese XD and I'm here asking you for some tricks to learn Chinese XD
As a chronic procrastinator, I really appreciated this. This is something I needed to see a long while ago, and I will be coming back to this video often. 👏👏 20 hrs into anything that's all it takes to kick start your expertise.
1. Deconstruct the skill 2. Learn enough to self-correct (looking for too much material or learn too much is a kind of procrastinate) 3. Remove practice barriers 4. Practice at least 20 hours
@@daveojeda Sadly people that have this "Give me results now" are the very ones that plato much quicker than others and mostly give up and/or never achive their goal New years res. area great example of this If sitting down for a 20 minute video on how to change your life is to much, i do NOT feel the problem is time for you but more on focus and realistic achivements
**THE FIRST 20 HOURS - HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING** 1. Deconstruct the skill: - decide exactly what you want to be able to do when you're done, and then look into the skill and break it down into smaller pieces. 2. Learn enough to self correct: - learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct or self edit as you practice. 3. Remove barriers to practice: - remove the distractions that are keeping you from practicing. 4. Practice for at least 20 hours: - by pre-committing to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours, you will be able to overcome initial frustration barrier and stick with the practice long enough to actually reap the rewards. 5. The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
I was always better than my classmates in speaking english, but I wasn't well enough to able to speak properly or understand completely. Then one day one thought came up and I've decided to be as better as I can in speaking english. Now, I've been practicing english for almost 1 year. At least 20 minutes a day. That's 20 minutes made me way better english speaker than I was before. When I saw this video I wanted to share my experience. Guys, I watched this video without any subtitle and understood every single words thanks to my 20 minutes efforts a day. I achieved this level without any partner or course. Although I'm still not that good enough and you can find lots of errors I've made in my comment, I know that I'm gonna be better day by day and eventually achieve my goal. Whatever you wanna learn, just believe in yourself and practice at least 20 minutes a day. Good luck.
The brain is a beautiful machine, this guy showed a really good strategy on how to use it but it's still up to you to learn whatever you wanna learn. Good luck everyone, i wish all of your dreams to become true!
Well, actually, this assumtion could realy be applied to any part of our life! From breaking ups with the love ones to hardship at workplace! Indeed! Great speach!
"By playing that song for you , I just hit my 20th hour of practicing the ukulele. " This words tough me the value of keep listening to something till the end. Thank u sir for your valuable speech.
Actually, I think the reason it's so popular is that it gives people who don't want to do any work one more reason to sit and stare at a screen while doing nothing.
20hour Rules - Deconstruct the skill - Learn enough to self-correct -Remove practice barriers -Practice at least 20hours Thank you UA-cam for recommending me & Thank you TEDx Talks too. I have learned a lot here. Grateful to all !!
@@AlineAzevedo13 thing is, majority of teachers are more concerned about getting passed the curriculum as efficient as possible. I dont blame them that much tho. In america, teachers are just not paid enough. The best teachers tho look outside the box and improve the students foundation with videos like this, and ultimately, become mote efficient at getting through the course.
@@AlineAzevedo13 Yup. Schools teach students very little to succeed. Students have to deal with unnecessary and uninterested Assignments. As a school graduate myself, I have no idea how to invest money, save money, do taxes, manage expenses, what to do with my first paycheck, know about life, and things like that😕😔. I don't even know why I went to college for.
This speaker's energy is incredible. I listened to this talk about six years ago, and it inspired me to start learning Russian-a language I never thought I could master. However, I fully committed, found a tutor, and a year later, I found myself studying at Moscow State University. Now, I'm back in Moscow for another three years to complete my degree. This TED Talk truly changed the course of my life for the better.
Im a English and Japanese learner, and I couldn't agree more with this video. The biggest barrier which obstructs you is emotional--'Im afraid of failure, Im afraid that what I've done wont work ect.' So just keep doing it, keep practicing, keep learning. And finally, you'll achieve your goals.
@@kanjifreak420i learned kanji by learning the words in context. learning the 120 ways to read 生 will get you nowhere if the book, tv show, etc. you’re reading only uses the readings なま and いきる. learn stuff in the context of words! it will be less stressful and more intuitive that way. a lot of native stuff doesn’t require knowledge of kanji anyway, and a lot more uses ふりがな! good luck kanjifreak.
This video made me want to learn Japanese again , I would start learning Japanese by learning from books designed for schools, they would slowly teach you grammar rules and a couple of business words are how to greet someone . I would quickly get bored and after a couple of weeks quit. But that's the thing the books I was using were designed to teach business men , they focus on grammar because it's an easy subject to grade on tests. But I don't care about any of that. What I need is the most important elements, that will make it easy for me to understand general Japanese . I'm still going to use those books but I'm not going to make them the central focus of my learning.
9:49 Deconstruct the Skill. 10:33: Learn Enough to Self Correct 11:23 Remove Practice Barriers 11:47 Practice at least 20 hours 18:37 "The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual...it's emotional" Thank you TEDx Talk and Josh Kaufman
Josh, I’m so glad I found this - 2yrs ago!! It’s been on my UA-cam “Watch Later” list for that long. Today I’m actually learning to code and your message is hitting the right “cord”! (Pun intended) I’m starting my 20hrs at - mark!! (11/2/24 - 11am)
I spent several hours trying to learn Russian... In that 2 or 3 hours, I learned to read Russian and a few greetings. I can now read Russian, but not understand everything and put together sentences and my dictionary is very small. On that first 2 hours, I learned about as much Russian as I did Greek on my first day of Greek school. The difference with learning Greek is that my family speaks Greek. When I started learning German in school, I spent about 45 minutes a day learning German with other people. With Russian, I don't know many people who speak Russian. ( I know 2...not that I have much contact with them). If I can do it, chances are so can most people. You just gotta have the motivation. I started learning German because I took an interest in World War II. After becoming fairly competent in German, I decided to learn Russian. You just gotta have the drive. JUST DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!
George Bizos Agreed because somebody could spend 10,000 hours studying but text every 5mins also its how you learn the subject. My mom is a graduate from Harvard and her biggest lesson to me was willpower can overcome lack of talent and lack of intelligence. Its crazy because we all have 24hours in a day its how you spend those hours.
10:30 - 11:15 is the life changing quote for me. Trying to be a perfectionist at everything and eventually procrastinating is the thing that I'm doing over these years. Thank you 💖
@@limo9402 Boredom is inevitable at first but you gonna feel excited when you start mastering your thing... remember that you will feel worst before starting feel better

This ted talk is worth 100 books read, and 100 movies watched on self-improvement. It's rare to find such an influential video. Kudos to all of you who ended up watching this!
sound useful. mainly cover 4 tips: 1st is deconstruct the skill(9:49); 2nd is learn enough to self correct(10:56);3rd is remove the practice barrier(11:20); the last one is practice at least 20 HOURS(12:25). Good tips which need to verify. thanks for sharing the idea!
If there is one take away, It definitely should be “The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual, it's emotional." It just like exercise, the mental barrier is much harder overcome than the physical obstacle. Let's face the fear and get it done folks !
I spent 20 hours on learning Chinese and then I realized that Chinese is not hard like I have ever thought about. And know, it is about 4 months since I started to study this language, I got HSK2. Thank u very much!
practice 20 hours to get good at something 9:30 => 1. Deconstruct the skill 2. Learn enough to self-correct 3. Remove practice barriers 4. Practice at least 20 hours
Thanks so much! This is so true. When I was 13 I really wanted to learn the guitar, and three months with daily working at it the way they tried to teach it in school got me nowhere. 2 years later I tried again with a totally different approach, basically just having fun with it and not being afraid of making mistakes but learning from them and 6 months later I was in a good band playing the lead guitar. No one expects you to learn anything by doing it right from the beginning anyway so just dive into it, make some mistakes and have fun. Learning rocks!
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I've been using a variation of this technique for 30 years to teach newbies programming. I call it the building block approach. Essentially teach a small aspect of the programming language at a time, get the "student" to use it over and over while being productive for their team. When each building block is mastered move to the next one. In a relative short period of time the student becomes an independent and productive programmer. So, instead of a steep learning curve, there are many short learning curves. Each building block aligns with Kaufman's 20 hours of practice. Thank you Josh!
wow! this is a nice suggestion. this technique applied over a thousand times can come upto 10,000 hours and will take you from bring decent to master of the skill !!
This video reminds me of when I was learning Italian language. I got the most spoken verbs of Italian language on Google and I learned them very well so I could have a basic conversation with Italians. That was the start for me and within a month I could speak the language much better than I thought: it was just like the Pareto rule because I chose the 20% that mattered most to keep a basic conversation.
So cool to find this comment when I'm just starting my journey on learning Italian! Glad to here that. This comment was 7 months ago, may I ask if you're still at it?
A lot of comments here are disappointing to read. The man shared with us a golden rule to learn and become decent at a new skill. He even specified you won't become an expert, you will become decent. That's the whole point of the video. He wanted to break the misconception of the 10,000 hour rule and encourage people to learn a subject they have been wanted to address and that it is not impossible, it takes 20 hours and you will have learned the basics and that it is do-able even if your schedule is tight. ''lolz then why isnt erryone a doctor ??? shit ted talk lmao !!1'' you missed the point
Agreed. But it is the internet =b You can't expect everyone to actually pay attention and comprehend everything lol. This is really helpful information, and very encouraging for a multipontentialite like myself. (if that word sounds crazy... its another TED talk)
Were talking about the UA-cam comments section here what do you expect, personally I took the lesson and I'm gonna apply it to my life so if everyone else misses the point that's not my problem ya know
TEDx events offer a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard. It's heartening to see organizers and speakers coming together to share their stories and ideas with the world.
The best, most exciting, most practical, most fascinating Ted talk that I continue to come back to you again and again. Read the book multiple times, applied it to everything from learning a new language to fixing up my house, to now developing my skills as a ham radio operator. Thank you so much for this.
He said nothing about success. This video is NOT about becoming successful. He said you can learn something new in 20 hours, not become successful. *Pay attention!*
10:59 "Learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct" I find this quote to be extremely powerful. My problem is I want to finish the whole course or book before I start practicing anything and I never viewed that as a form of procrastination.
For those who want the short version, he says to: 1. Deconstruct the skill 2. Learn enough to self-correct 3. Remove practice barriers 4. Practice at least 20 hours
I started learning piano again after i quit for 12 years straight! I was never really good, but when i learnt more about myself and learnt, what i really loved to do;i started playing again and now im composing my own songs! Never give up on anything! Nothing is Impossible !
Nothing in particular, it really depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you like to learn to improvise and create your own songs or do you want to read musical scores ?
Composing is not like a high level of playing piano or something... Composing and playing are two entirely different skills. You are putting it in a way like "I've become so good at playing piano that im composing now" which is not the way it works
I appreciate your opinion about that,maybe i put that into that way, because i never thought it would be possible! And it's true, composing and playing are two different skills. But imagining techniques for example arpeggios and composing songs that are above your own piano skill level is a really efficient way to improve your own skills, just like an impromptu. I never experienced such fast progress by playing sheet music.
10,000 hours to master a new skill - watch it ! 20 hours to be reasonably good at something - IF you apply 4 steps : 1. Deconstruct skill - start with the most important parts first 2. Learn enough to self-correct 3. Remove practice barriers/distractions - TV, internet 4. Practice minimum 20 hours - the barrier here is the frustration that comes from the lack of knowledge : we suck and we know it. Doing 20h might seem short, but intense focus is actually hard to maintain, because of emotional junk. The major barrier to skill acquisition is not intellectual - it’s emotional.
Four simple steps to rapid skill acquisition: 1. Deconstruct the skill; 2. Learn enough to self-correct; 3. Remove practice barriers; 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Thanks for sharing. It's so useful for everyone.

The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
@kittykitty montero In 20 hours you can learn HTML and CSS and make decent looking web pages. Or you can learn how to make simple algorythms Or you can learn how to make a simple mobile app You actually can learn a lot of things in 20hours of programming. "Programming" is a really large topic, but if you focus on one thing in particular you can get usable results :P
Thanks for this impressive lection. I improved in skill acquisition tremendously. Here the list of 4 steps of rapid skill acquisition which are provided by Josh Kaufman: 1. Deconstruct the skill. (Break the skill into the smallest pieces possible so you`ll undestand your milestones in progressing skill and, what matters the most, task of acquiring the skill becomes tangible.) 2. Learn enough to self-correct. (Get 3-5 resources about what it is you`re trying to learn. But don`t use those as a way to procrastinate on practice. Get better at noticing when you`re making a mistake.) 3.Remove practice barriers. (Use at least a bit of willpower to remove distractions that are keeping you from practice.) 4. Practice at least 20 hours.
I am in the midst of a career change. After 24 years as a doctor, I am training to become an airline pilot. I have accumulated 10 hours of flight so far, and I’m starting to see myself soar.
This is actually crazy, I learnt how to spin a ball on my finger as a 6 year old child because I was impressed by nba basketball players and wanted to do it myself, devoting hour after hour but it didn’t take very long as a child to learn how. Felt like years to me but I’d say a few weeks. Just recently I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube, I always had one lying around but never took it seriously, one day I just decided to use it in my spare time, every moment until I could solve it, I solved it in 4 days and now I’m actually pretty fast. 4 days of just every spare moment, just a bit of time and concentration and I’ve mastered it. Now I’m just starting to try learning Spanish, let’s see how well I am after 20 hours.
I can't believe youtube didn't recommend me this video Before. It's amazing , Actually I'm English Learner My native Language is Spanish. I clicked in this video to brush up on my Listening Skills But I ended up learning the best way to improve my life.
I rarely study except for when I have a serious exam to write. Due to not being in a habit of studying and being a tiny bit gifted at learning new things, I often remind myself the barrier is not intellectual, it’s rather emotional and it always helps. Thank you for your time teacher.
this guy should emphasize more on the "breaking the skill apart" part, since most of people in the comments got misunderstood about this 20 hours learning shennanigans, most of em expect to learn coding in 20 hours even thou what this guy meant is u start from "learning hardware" in 20 hours, then learn how to assemble ur pc in 20 hours, etc. in short this guy purpose is to give u motivation, and tell you to learn stuff in tiny chunks so u dont get overwhelmed.
He does emphasize it, repeatedly, here and on other platforms. In the same way that people misconstrue the 10,000 hour "rule" for mastery, they misconstrue his message of 20 hours to learn one skill FOR FUN, because listening comprehension is a lost art or something. Gladwell: "It takes 10,000 hours to attain world class mastery in a given field." Groundlings: "ZOMG it takes 10k hours just to learn this one thing!" Kaufman: "It takes 20 hours to learn how to order at a restaurant in French." Groundlings: "ZOMG you can't be completely fluent in a language that fast YOU LIES" et cetera.
Well you can learn a lot from a program like Scratch or some other coding thing for kids. But indeed you get o know the basics. And from there you need more hours to become better at it. However, 20 hours to get to the basic is quit okay. Even learning IP ranges and subnetting is not that impossible in 20 hours.
He said it clearly 20 hours is enough, You can't motivate me when you say a lying because I will be frustrated when can't reached it cause it's not true at all
I did not want to use 20 hours on a real skill. So I decided to use the advice to learn how to play FIFA 16. And damn, this advice works. Am now so good at it. I will try something more valuable now.
Jmdeleeuw point is this - why would you want to learn something that is "less fun" according to you? If you are genuinely interested, the fun element is a non-factor. The 20 hour rule holds
shashank bharadwaj let me say this the fun element is a factor,if you are going to spent 20 hours on learning a skill and no more it being fun makes it easier,but if your going to spent 20 years on a skill the fun element is a motivation factor.
Thanks a lot, for me, this is truly a great source of motivation. I always fear failure or simply feel inadequate when starting something, but you have shown me that "The main barrier is not intellectual : it's EMOTIONAL." This is my homework, but I truly hope that when I come back here in 5 years, I will achieve the proud results I desire. I should start practicing right now... definitely.
This is very helpful. Thank you for the work that went into this presentation. I could relate when he started talking about not starting to practice until he read all the books and understood all the concepts. Read a little, then practice a little, then progress that way.
let's not exaggerate: 20 hours does not get you good, in 20 hours you can barely do a passable job. Sorry, but the ukulele playing was pretty lame, IMO. In reality, we have to decide on our goals and our desired level of achievement. It is good to have this reference point. So, for any of us, the truth lies somewhere between 20 and 10K hours.
@@shivrajsingh4715 pretty much this, could take someone 9 thousand hours to find out how to learn and practice effectively and then the last 1 thousand hours is them doing that process to become the master. Or it could take them 5 thousand hours to learn how to learn that skill -- thats how I look at it since everyone learns things differently
No, its not. The major barrier in leaning anything is finding someone that can put it in term simple enough to understand. Ninety nine percent of those books are written so badly that you leave as clueless as when you came in.Thing is, you've got to read through all of them before you can find the one that makes what you want to learn make sense. Only a very small group of people know how to do this. And even smaller group knows how to make learning interesting.
@@krane15 I agree with this, but perhaps the fact that you are reading those books, and that you're a part of that small group that knows how to make learning interesting, means that you have already passed the emotional barrier. Most people don't have the interest or motivation to seek out that knowledge in the first place. I don't think you're wrong, I think you're awesome. But maybe you've been awesome for so long that you've forgotten the challenges that prevent non-awesome people from being awesome?
@@AaronAtkinson When you said motivation you struck a never. In my entire time in HS I don't recall a single teacher that went above and beyond to teach. They did the minimum to meet their requirements, but no more, and no less. Well, maybe sometimes less. In any event, if the student got it, fine. If they didn't, it was their tough luck. In college, I had a total of two professors that went above and beyond the call of duty to help me and other student to pas tests and succeed. What I mean is they did things like coming in on their days off to give students individual tutelage on parts they found difficult, and helping the surmount other administrative challenges that would get in the way of their studies. I guess I would categorize that on removing all distractions. But that's easier said than done. Some distractions are under your control, others are not. Eliminating all distractions takes time and can be draining. Anyway, I know this isn't exactly on topic, but your post reminded me, and it is closely related nonetheless. They say you can learn anything on youtube. Thing is. you have to watch 10 hours of useless videos to get to that one that put things in terms that you can understand. Can you then say you learned how to grow radishes in 1 hour? What becomes of that 10 hours of video where you learned next to nothing? Nevertheless, I appreciate the compliment, but I wouldn't call myself awesome. Rather, I say I was aware -- of some of the difficulties in learning a new skills, and so can often recognize and focus on getting around those difficulties. When the author claims 20 hours it takes for granted that all the time is productive, and ignores the time it takes to get through all the useless material to get to that actual leaning point. A structured learning environment removes much of that effort, but not necessarily all of it. Of course the true definition of learning has always bothered me as well. Is memorizing learning? If you don't understand what the nomenclature or what the jargon means, knowing the definition won't help you much. On the other hand, you can always memorize a passage and get it right, but that doesn't mean you understand it. If an instructor puts it in the right words you can learn something new instantly. When they don't, or can't, they can repeat it a million times and it still won't resonate or have any real meaning. I offer my most challenging example: A linear equation is an equation in the form y = mx + b. Maybe its ridiculously clear to some folks (a left brain/right brain thing?), but it wasn't to me. At least, not at the time. Cliffs: 1) Part of learning is teaching, and teachers can be good or really, really bad. 2) Only a small percentage of teachers go beyond the minimum required to teach. 3) Total study time is not always relate to total learning time. 4) Comfortable learning environments vary, and can sometimes be difficult to achieve. 5) Memorizing material may not be considered the same as learning it.
as a person trying to get better at art, this is really helpful and i'm both sad and glad that i saw this now because the 13 y/o me from 2013 probably wouldn't have taken these tips into account and wouldn't have used them
i've been an artist for years now, and although i'd consider myself an amateur in terms of technical skill, i will give you some advice that helped me the most. don't lure yourself into believing the technical skills are all that make an artist great, they certainly help with creating works but that's where it ends. there's no "proper way" to start learning, don't follow guides or instructions on how to draw, they are great to learn about new techniques but that's where it ends. just draw, paint, sculpt or whatever you want to do, in whatever order you wish! the most important aspect of artistry is actually enjoying the creative process, because if you don't enjoy what you create, then it's very easy to lose interest in art. never be afraid to make mistakes, and then erase them (in some cases the entire work itself). never feel like you are forced to do a work you don't wish to, or lack the energy/passion to complete. and probably one of the more important things, is to create art for YOURSELF! don't be put down by others judgements on your works, they are for you first, your expression and your message! (even if someone is positive to your work, you will find often almost everyone will say the same positive thing "oh that looks nice/good" they often mean well, but lack the words or artistic knowledge to express such, it will get tiring very fast). and don't fall into the trap of creating art for others, it can be fun, but having to follow another person vision gets tiresome after a short while.
Thanks ... I have spent 20,000 hours well ten years full time practicing law of attraction and they say it's not a college degree its whether you are practicing in the moment or not (Esther hicks) I must be a grandmaster now right?🐳🐳🐳❤️️❤️️💕❤️️❤️️
The 20 hours thing is an interesting concept to make you realize that it's not impossible to achieve something, to learn something new. But everything else wasn't really groundbraking, the 4 steps thing looked like something pretty useless and automatic: don't get distracted! don't procrastinate! try to understand what you're trying to learn! In the end it all boils down to 18:30: The major barrier to learning new things is not intellectual but emotional. We need to really WANT it, as with many other things in life.. we will eventually get there by overcoming the fears, by sparking that passion, that curiosity, that interest for what we're trying to learn.. what turns you on, what lights you up? Go out there and do that!
Well, this kind of raises another question after the WANTING - how to want what we want? Because before that, there was an idea planted in our minds of that there is something we want to do, which looks beautiful at the beginning and every single thought of it makes us feel happy. There certainly are things i want to do, and it bothers me every day that i can't just dive into them, even though i know that i want them, but i just can't overcome the barrier of actually doing it! I know this sounds pretty daft but the struggle is real.
I finally realized that the reason why I couldn't acquire new skills thanks to watching this video. I always quit learning new things within 20 hours because I didn't find any progress about them and got frustration. From now on, I'm gonna keep learning at least 20 hours. And I think that I can automatically keep doing it if I could achieve more than 20 hours because it will become routine of my life. I appreciate the speaker for giving me motivation.

I only studied a lot when i went for the first time last year but the second time was so easy, all thanks to my aunt who introduced me to Mrs Catherina Moore am really grateful
Wow. I was only thinking I’m the only one she help pass nclex too.I really Don’t know how she work this out but Mrs Catherina is obviously the best, i studied her questions and answers just in 5 days and I passed, the materials she provided was exactly the questions I saw on my test day. Thanks to my friend who recommended me to her because she pass through her on her first attempt.
What an inspirational guy, I wished I had heard this about four years back. My wife bought me a cheap Uke for a laugh, and within a short period of time I could bang out the blues, and a couple of songs I always wanted to play, and sing. His theory holds up pretty well, as I just wanted to play a musical instrument, and found this was the easiest way to do so.
4 simple steps to “Rapid Skill acquisition” are: 1- Deconstruct the skill and decide exactly what you would be able to do by breaking down the skill into smaller pieces 2- Learn enough to self correct (Learn enough part of the skill which you can practice and self correct) 3- Remove practice barriers (distractions) by utilising a little will power 4- Practice at least 20 hours
What I learned is: we need to be able to deconstruct the skill, and learn enough to self assess our progress eliminating diseraction while practice time, and put our 20 hours .This was so excellent.
Maybe search online or a book can help us to deconstruct a skill. But I have no idea how to know that we've already have the ability to do self correct
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
The learning curve exists because once you have a bit of basics, everything else that comes after that has is harder, more advanced and as you inch your way forward, it takes more time to understand and apply.
I'm learning to play guitar. Since I first wanted to play guitar, it has been 6 years. I played it and droped it. Now I determined to devote myself into it. I hope this time I can really master it.
You need to live with the music. Don't put your guitar in the case under the bed. Put it in the bed, take it into the bathroom with you. This is case by case, however, take your guitar with you to parties. Make a public commitment to learning to play. Ask around and try to find a mentor or peer that will help you. Who knows you might get laid. (worked for me) If you swerve into someone that will hang with you when you are a bad player, the future could be bright. Also pick some tunes that you like or someone you like wants to hear and have some fun. Good luck and good picking. P.S. Don't know what your playing, however, I suggest you follow the advice of BB King and Billy Gibbons and use lighter strings.
Commit to learning the basic chords like this man did and then go from there. I love guitar and am always happy when someone else's joins the club! Hope you've picked it back up!
I hear you man i left drawling 4 years ago feeling like it was not something i was good at or needed but the pencil kept calling me. This video helped me draw again hopfully much better now.
The effective way of doing that is setting aside time for studying each day, just like you do for eating and sleeping. Maintain a consistent schedule from day to day. The length of time required for study will vary depending on the individual's knowledge of the subject.Your focus will increase if you make it a habit to study in the same spot at the same time every day.
Loved this talk! Imagine as teachers, we can design our course instruction to follow this exact process. That is, we can deconstruct the skills, identify the most critical/fundamental sub skills, decide what the right mix of resources are, teach them how to self-correct, create the barrier-less conditions, and structure the 20 hour plan for that skill. Perhaps in math, chapter 3 is the big skill and the sections are the sub-skills. Hmmm...I am going to play around with this.
As I watched this TEDx talk, I kept saying over and over, "Spot on!" Isn't that what we, as teachers, have already been doing all along? No? Then you're either new to teaching, haven't figured it out yet, or are a professional development speaker in need of a pseudo-new hook so you can pick up ridiculously large fees instructing experienced and accomplished educators on the latest, wiz-bang teaching method neatly packaged and marketed to justify your product. That stated, I do agree that this is a terrific talk -- for students, as reinforcement for what we educators do or ... for those who are otherwise, clueless about the validity of practice, exercises and drills. Jus' sayin'
Absolutely brilliant. Everything said was spot on. Anyone can start to achieve any goal with just a little practice and motivation and leaving the fear behind. Use fear as a focus to achieve your goal, not to prevent it.
Love this so helpful thanks. self edit really helps as it puts the onus on action, which I've been overlooking in favour of achieving more theory, which is a bit of a cop out.
I am almost at my 20th hour of watching TEDx talks and I have to say I AM getting pretty good at this.
+James Benton Ticer Hahaha... This really cracked me up.

20hour Rules
- Deconstruct the skill
- Learn enough to self-correct
-Remove practice barriers
-Practice at least 20hours
for all the procrastinators out here!
thank you
@@roa1437 ♥️✨
thank you very much
@@hikarihinan ♥️✨
1. Deconstruct the skill. Decide what you exactly want to do with skill and break the skill, practice the most important skills.
2. Learn enough to correct yourself. Practice just enough to notice when you do mistakes and get on the right path.
3. Remove the distractions. Disable notifications and remove all the distractions.
4. Practice at least 20 hours. Try to do 20 hours of deliberate practice. Stick with it no matter what.
Additional:- The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't an intellectual one, but it's emotional.
Thanks, for resume! 😊
Thanks a bunch. You're my hero!
So he's the guy who sends his assignment in the class group after completing with no intention of return from anyone. Legend!! ♥
congratulation, now you can give a perfect ted talk
thanks a lot
1. Deconstruct the skill.
2. Learn enough to self-correct.
3. Remove practice barriers.
4. Practice at least 20 hours.
Man, you are great!!!!!! Loved your ted talk!
Nice. I got to save listening to this ego maniac.
Thanks, I've been listening to this specific video for six years. Thanks for the sum up. the guy is great though.
Yes, but he broke the first rule of TED talks, he gave actionable advice.
You spoiled it for me tnx
The sum up is why it's worth it to check the comments. Thanks!
The last line : "Have fun"😭 Thanks for such amazing knowledge and time.
"The main barrier is not intellectual - it's emotional" was taken to heart. Thanks for the video
@cat 000 how
@cat 000 nobody cares, they just said that quote is what they took to their hearts and thats what matters.
Yes. Good one.
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill.
1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary)
2. Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes.
3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.

Thanks to you sir. I come back to write this 3 months (- +) after i watched this video. When i was learning english, i've tried to memorize all the words and vocab as much as possible, but after months i still can't speak or even give a comment in youtube or instagram post in english. After watched this video i realize, i don't need all the words in oxford dictionary to start speaking, like that ukelele chords, know some important words is enough for you to speak in foreign language, and that's what i do now.
Great!
You are the greatest example that this works. Thanks mate
congratulations! I'm a native speaker of Chinese and English is my second language. I have a hard time in learning it due to the tradition way of teaching in my school. how I wish all my teacher watch Ted (there is no Ted back then). I found another good way to learn English let me share with u. don't try to remember words as it is very discouraged. instead try read the books /newspaper that is your level. your level means in one page there is no more than 10 unknown words to u. and dun hurry to search the meaning of every single words u duno. just guess the meaning and move on. if u feel happy just look up for 1 - 2 words u find interesting. that's my way of learning. just sharing 😊👍
@@danielliew2192 I am a 17 y.o girl. I just watched this Video because I got struggle in learning chinese, I really liked to learn chinese but, I found it hard to study and understand the 8000+ words, in Chinese there are so many kind of tones of words that we used to speak in dialogue and I was like I'm getting tired, and close to giving up. But I don't think I can quit because I really want to be a native speaker in Chinese XD and I'm here asking you for some tricks to learn Chinese XD

As a chronic procrastinator, I really appreciated this. This is something I needed to see a long while ago, and I will be coming back to this video often. 👏👏 20 hrs into anything that's all it takes to kick start your expertise.

@@daveojeda Sadly people that have this "Give me results now" are the very ones that plato much quicker than others and mostly give up and/or never achive their goal
New years res. area great example of this
If sitting down for a 20 minute video on how to change your life is to much, i do NOT feel the problem is time for you but more on focus and realistic achivements
Could you elaborate on the 2nd point?
**THE FIRST 20 HOURS - HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING**
1. Deconstruct the skill:
- decide exactly what you want to be able to do when you're done, and then look into the skill and break it down into smaller pieces.
2. Learn enough to self correct:
- learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct or self edit as you practice.
3. Remove barriers to practice:
- remove the distractions that are keeping you from practicing.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours:
- by pre-committing to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours, you will be able to overcome initial frustration barrier and stick with the practice long enough to actually reap the rewards.
5. The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.

I was always better than my classmates in speaking english, but I wasn't well enough to able to speak properly or understand completely. Then one day one thought came up and I've decided to be as better as I can in speaking english. Now, I've been practicing english for almost 1 year. At least 20 minutes a day. That's 20 minutes made me way better english speaker than I was before. When I saw this video I wanted to share my experience. Guys, I watched this video without any subtitle and understood every single words thanks to my 20 minutes efforts a day. I achieved this level without any partner or course. Although I'm still not that good enough and you can find lots of errors I've made in my comment, I know that I'm gonna be better day by day and eventually achieve my goal. Whatever you wanna learn, just believe in yourself and practice at least 20 minutes a day. Good luck.

Started watching tedtalks weekly and my life drastically improved from all the things I’ve learned here. I wish teachers in school are like this.
We needed to learn a little more about life and practical skills at school! The school system is so broken :(
@@AlineAzevedo13 thing is, majority of teachers are more concerned about getting passed the curriculum as efficient as possible. I dont blame them that much tho. In america, teachers are just not paid enough. The best teachers tho look outside the box and improve the students foundation with videos like this, and ultimately, become mote efficient at getting through the course.
@@AlineAzevedo13 Yup. Schools teach students very little to succeed. Students have to deal with unnecessary and uninterested Assignments. As a school graduate myself, I have no idea how to invest money, save money, do taxes, manage expenses, what to do with my first paycheck, know about life, and things like that😕😔. I don't even know why I went to college for.
Teachers in university are very similar to this actually tbh this reminds me of one the teachers at harvard in the computer science course.
more or less health teachers
This speaker's energy is incredible. I listened to this talk about six years ago, and it inspired me to start learning Russian-a language I never thought I could master. However, I fully committed, found a tutor, and a year later, I found myself studying at Moscow State University. Now, I'm back in Moscow for another three years to complete my degree. This TED Talk truly changed the course of my life for the better.
"The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual...it's EMOTIONAL." Thank you Josh👏
Absolutely agree .. emotion is tied to memory ..
Im a English and Japanese learner, and I couldn't agree more with this video. The biggest barrier which obstructs you is emotional--'Im afraid of failure, Im afraid that what I've done wont work ect.'
So just keep doing it, keep practicing, keep learning. And finally, you'll achieve your goals.
bro no it takes 20 hours alone to learn kanji, i have gone insane now i literally learn kanji everyday, i have no life now.
Agree. Just keep doing it, and you will find you are there suddenly.
@@kanjifreak420i learned kanji by learning the words in context. learning the 120 ways to read 生 will get you nowhere if the book, tv show, etc. you’re reading only uses the readings なま and いきる. learn stuff in the context of words! it will be less stressful and more intuitive that way. a lot of native stuff doesn’t require knowledge of kanji anyway, and a lot more uses ふりがな! good luck kanjifreak.
@@sejcai thanks I'll try it.
This video made me want to learn Japanese again , I would start learning Japanese by learning from books designed for schools, they would slowly teach you grammar rules and a couple of business words are how to greet someone .
I would quickly get bored and after a couple of weeks quit.
But that's the thing the books I was using were designed to teach business men , they focus on grammar because it's an easy subject to grade on tests.
But I don't care about any of that.
What I need is the most important elements, that will make it easy for me to understand general Japanese .
I'm still going to use those books but I'm not going to make them the central focus of my learning.

I spent several hours trying to learn Russian...
In that 2 or 3 hours, I learned to read Russian and a few greetings.
I can now read Russian, but not understand everything and put together sentences and my dictionary is very small. On that first 2 hours, I learned about as much Russian as I did Greek on my first day of Greek school. The difference with learning Greek is that my family speaks Greek. When I started learning German in school, I spent about 45 minutes a day learning German with other people. With Russian, I don't know many people who speak Russian. ( I know 2...not that I have much contact with them). If I can do it, chances are so can most people. You just gotta have the motivation. I started learning German because I took an interest in World War II. After becoming fairly competent in German, I decided to learn Russian. You just gotta have the drive.
JUST DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!
George Bizos Agreed because somebody could spend 10,000 hours studying but text every 5mins also its how you learn the subject. My mom is a graduate from Harvard and her biggest lesson to me was willpower can overcome lack of talent and lack of intelligence. Its crazy because we all have 24hours in a day its how you spend those hours.
George Bizos Dude buy CSGO on steam. And start playing some competetive. ANd you will speak fluent russian in like 2 days....

sound useful. mainly cover 4 tips: 1st is deconstruct the skill(9:49); 2nd is learn enough to self correct(10:56);3rd is remove the practice barrier(11:20); the last one is practice at least 20 HOURS(12:25). Good tips which need to verify. thanks for sharing the idea!
If there is one take away, It definitely should be “The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't intellectual, it's emotional." It just like exercise, the mental barrier is much harder overcome than the physical obstacle. Let's face the fear and get it done folks !

Thanks so much! This is so true. When I was 13 I really wanted to learn the guitar, and three months with daily working at it the way they tried to teach it in school got me nowhere. 2 years later I tried again with a totally different approach, basically just having fun with it and not being afraid of making mistakes but learning from them and 6 months later I was in a good band playing the lead guitar. No one expects you to learn anything by doing it right from the beginning anyway so just dive into it, make some mistakes and have fun. Learning rocks!

Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I've been using a variation of this technique for 30 years to teach newbies programming. I call it the building block approach. Essentially teach a small aspect of the programming language at a time, get the "student" to use it over and over while being productive for their team. When each building block is mastered move to the next one. In a relative short period of time the student becomes an independent and productive programmer. So, instead of a steep learning curve, there are many short learning curves. Each building block aligns with Kaufman's 20 hours of practice. Thank you Josh!
i havent apply this but it sounds cool, i`m about to learn to program so it`s gonna be an opportunity to apply this technique
wow! this is a nice suggestion. this technique applied over a thousand times can come upto 10,000 hours and will take you from bring decent to master of the skill !!
Could you expand this a bit? I'd love to code
Yes. I call it: the swiss clock. I practice for 30 minutes a day everyday but different aspects of the skill you wanna learn.
Yeah back then we just called it practical common sense though
This video reminds me of when I was learning Italian language. I got the most spoken verbs of Italian language on Google and I learned them very well so I could have a basic conversation with Italians. That was the start for me and within a month I could speak the language much better than I thought: it was just like the Pareto rule because I chose the 20% that mattered most to keep a basic conversation.
Hey man! I’m still struggling learning it. Any tips? Thanks

So cool to find this comment when I'm just starting my journey on learning Italian! Glad to here that. This comment was 7 months ago, may I ask if you're still at it?

A lot of comments here are disappointing to read. The man shared with us a golden rule to learn and become decent at a new skill. He even specified you won't become an expert, you will become decent. That's the whole point of the video. He wanted to break the misconception of the 10,000 hour rule and encourage people to learn a subject they have been wanted to address and that it is not impossible, it takes 20 hours and you will have learned the basics and that it is do-able even if your schedule is tight. ''lolz then why isnt erryone a doctor ??? shit ted talk lmao !!1'' you missed the point
Dugimeister yes, you are right this people need 10 thousand hours of listening and comprehension he clearly stated "not a master"
Dugimeister you're totally right.
that's it you are a maneuver helped me from a jeopardy
Agreed. But it is the internet =b You can't expect everyone to actually pay attention and comprehend everything lol. This is really helpful information, and very encouraging for a multipontentialite like myself. (if that word sounds crazy... its another TED talk)
Were talking about the UA-cam comments section here what do you expect, personally I took the lesson and I'm gonna apply it to my life so if everyone else misses the point that's not my problem ya know
TEDx events offer a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard. It's heartening to see organizers and speakers coming together to share their stories and ideas with the world.

I'm starting my cybersecurity journey and hopefully 2-5 years from now I'd come back here having achieved something I can be proud of
You promised yourself this, don't give up ♥️
Me too… will be circling back!

10:59 "Learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct" I find this quote to be extremely powerful. My problem is I want to finish the whole course or book before I start practicing anything and I never viewed that as a form of procrastination.
For those who want the short version, he says to:
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. Learn enough to self-correct
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours
Finally a decent, fun and engaging tedtalks that truly helps to set a practical goal and gives you a clear prospective on learning. THANK YOU
This has been out for 9 years lol
What he means to say is out of the many ted talks that HE has PERSONALLY watched, this was the most, or one of the most practical and helpful.

I started learning piano again after i quit for 12 years straight!
I was never really good, but when i learnt more about myself and learnt, what i really loved to do;i started playing again and now im composing my own songs!
Never give up on anything! Nothing is Impossible !
+Max Siebert Congrats! :D
Nothing in particular, it really depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you like to learn to improvise and create your own songs or do you want to read musical scores ?
Composing is not like a high level of playing piano or something... Composing and playing are two entirely different skills. You are putting it in a way like "I've become so good at playing piano that im composing now" which is not the way it works
I appreciate your opinion about that,maybe i put that into that way, because i never thought it would be possible! And it's true, composing and playing are two different skills. But imagining techniques for example arpeggios and composing songs that are above your own piano skill level is a really efficient way to improve your own skills, just like an impromptu. I never experienced such fast progress by playing sheet music.
+Max Piano The word is learned!
I’m closing in on 30 straight hours of watching TEDx talks, and I have to say-at this point, I might just be becoming a pro at it!
10,000 hours to master a new skill - watch it !
20 hours to be reasonably good at something - IF you apply 4 steps :
1. Deconstruct skill - start with the most important parts first
2. Learn enough to self-correct
3. Remove practice barriers/distractions - TV, internet
4. Practice minimum 20 hours - the barrier here is the frustration that comes from the lack of knowledge : we suck and we know it. Doing 20h might seem short, but intense focus is actually hard to maintain, because of emotional junk.
The major barrier to skill acquisition is not intellectual - it’s emotional.

The best, most exciting, most practical, most fascinating Ted talk that I continue to come back to you again and again. Read the book multiple times, applied it to everything from learning a new language to fixing up my house, to now developing my skills as a ham radio operator.

I learned ukulele in 20 hours. This thing works........and today is my 27 day of learning ukulele . I did it
Now do programming😄
What is ukulele?
@@shakeelahmed2994 a small guitar
you do not learn to play ukulele , you just learn 10 3 chords songs
@kittykitty montero
In 20 hours you can learn HTML and CSS and make decent looking web pages.
Or you can learn how to make simple algorythms
Or you can learn how to make a simple mobile app
You actually can learn a lot of things in 20hours of programming.
"Programming" is a really large topic, but if you focus on one thing in particular you can get usable results :P
"Learn enough to self correct" is EXACTLY what's needed if you learn any form of programming. Learn some problems before you learn solutions.
Who's watching this in November to improve his new year productive
Thanks for this impressive lection. I improved in skill acquisition tremendously.
Here the list of 4 steps of rapid skill acquisition which are provided by Josh Kaufman:
1. Deconstruct the skill.
(Break the skill into the smallest pieces possible so you`ll undestand your milestones in progressing skill and,
what matters the most, task of acquiring the skill becomes tangible.)
2. Learn enough to self-correct.
(Get 3-5 resources about what it is you`re trying to learn. But don`t use those as a way to procrastinate on
practice. Get better at noticing when you`re making a mistake.)
3.Remove practice barriers.
(Use at least a bit of willpower to remove distractions that are keeping you from practice.)
4. Practice at least 20 hours.

I am in the midst of a career change. After 24 years as a doctor, I am training to become an airline pilot. I have accumulated 10 hours of flight so far, and I’m starting to see myself soar.

This is actually crazy, I learnt how to spin a ball on my finger as a 6 year old child because I was impressed by nba basketball players and wanted to do it myself, devoting hour after hour but it didn’t take very long as a child to learn how. Felt like years to me but I’d say a few weeks. Just recently I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube, I always had one lying around but never took it seriously, one day I just decided to use it in my spare time, every moment until I could solve it, I solved it in 4 days and now I’m actually pretty fast. 4 days of just every spare moment, just a bit of time and concentration and I’ve mastered it. Now I’m just starting to try learning Spanish, let’s see how well I am after 20 hours.
Any results ...!?
Are you using duolingo? Pretty helpful I must confess.
I am learning spanisch too for Uni and I'm still struggling... I need to try this 20 hour rule.
Coma estas???
I also learned to solve Rubik’s cube recently, it’s fun! Always wanted to solve it!
I can't believe youtube didn't recommend me this video Before. It's amazing , Actually I'm English Learner My native Language is Spanish. I clicked in this video to brush up on my Listening Skills But I ended up learning the best way to improve my life.
I rarely study except for when I have a serious exam to write. Due to not being in a habit of studying and being a tiny bit gifted at learning new things, I often remind myself the barrier is not intellectual, it’s rather emotional and it always helps. Thank you for your time teacher.
Omg, me too! So true! I'm grateful for this video and the speaker 🙏🏾😊
this guy should emphasize more on the "breaking the skill apart" part, since most of people in the comments got misunderstood about this 20 hours learning shennanigans, most of em expect to learn coding in 20 hours even thou what this guy meant is u start from "learning hardware" in 20 hours, then learn how to assemble ur pc in 20 hours, etc.
in short this guy purpose is to give u motivation, and tell you to learn stuff in tiny chunks so u dont get overwhelmed.
good point
He does emphasize it, repeatedly, here and on other platforms. In the same way that people misconstrue the 10,000 hour "rule" for mastery, they misconstrue his message of 20 hours to learn one skill FOR FUN, because listening comprehension is a lost art or something.
Gladwell: "It takes 10,000 hours to attain world class mastery in a given field."
Groundlings: "ZOMG it takes 10k hours just to learn this one thing!"
Kaufman: "It takes 20 hours to learn how to order at a restaurant in French."
Groundlings: "ZOMG you can't be completely fluent in a language that fast YOU LIES"
et cetera.
Well you can learn a lot from a program like Scratch or some other coding thing for kids. But indeed you get o know the basics. And from there you need more hours to become better at it. However, 20 hours to get to the basic is quit okay. Even learning IP ranges and subnetting is not that impossible in 20 hours.
Rhenosa Mizuno I
He said it clearly 20 hours is enough,
You can't motivate me when you say a lying because I will be frustrated when can't reached it cause it's not true at all
I did not want to use 20 hours on a real skill. So I decided to use the advice to learn how to play FIFA 16. And damn, this advice works. Am now so good at it. I will try something more valuable now.
Same
Jmdeleeuw point is this - why would you want to learn something that is "less fun" according to you? If you are genuinely interested, the fun element is a non-factor. The 20 hour rule holds
shashank bharadwaj let me say this the fun element is a factor,if you are going to spent 20 hours on learning a skill and no more it being fun makes it easier,but if your going to spent 20 years on a skill the fun element is a motivation factor.
Thanks a lot, for me, this is truly a great source of motivation. I always fear failure or simply feel inadequate when starting something, but you have shown me that "The main barrier is not intellectual : it's EMOTIONAL." This is my homework, but I truly hope that when I come back here in 5 years, I will achieve the proud results I desire. I should start practicing right now... definitely.
This is very helpful. Thank you for the work that went into this presentation. I could relate when he started talking about not starting to practice until he read all the books and understood all the concepts. Read a little, then practice a little, then progress that way.
LOL, It's true, we only need 20hours to good at something
Just remember how you pass your highschool, studying a subject the night before
Are you implying you have to be good at something to graduate high school? Lol. Good one.
@@danm2084 no. no one is saying that
let's not exaggerate: 20 hours does not get you good, in 20 hours you can barely do a passable job. Sorry, but the ukulele playing was pretty lame, IMO. In reality, we have to decide on our goals and our desired level of achievement. It is good to have this reference point. So, for any of us, the truth lies somewhere between 20 and 10K hours.
@@juhanleemet hour does not matter , how you learn does
@@shivrajsingh4715 pretty much this, could take someone 9 thousand hours to find out how to learn and practice effectively and then the last 1 thousand hours is them doing that process to become the master. Or it could take them 5 thousand hours to learn how to learn that skill -- thats how I look at it since everyone learns things differently
The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
Ln.
Totally true, learning process requires motivation in order to be efective.
No, its not. The major barrier in leaning anything is finding someone that can put it in term simple enough to understand. Ninety nine percent of those books are written so badly that you leave as clueless as when you came in.Thing is, you've got to read through all of them before you can find the one that makes what you want to learn make sense. Only a very small group of people know how to do this. And even smaller group knows how to make learning interesting.
@@krane15 I agree with this, but perhaps the fact that you are reading those books, and that you're a part of that small group that knows how to make learning interesting, means that you have already passed the emotional barrier. Most people don't have the interest or motivation to seek out that knowledge in the first place.
I don't think you're wrong, I think you're awesome.
But maybe you've been awesome for so long that you've forgotten the challenges that prevent non-awesome people from being awesome?
@@AaronAtkinson When you said motivation you struck a never. In my entire time in HS I don't recall a single teacher that went above and beyond to teach. They did the minimum to meet their requirements, but no more, and no less. Well, maybe sometimes less. In any event, if the student got it, fine. If they didn't, it was their tough luck.
In college, I had a total of two professors that went above and beyond the call of duty to help me and other student to pas tests and succeed. What I mean is they did things like coming in on their days off to give students individual tutelage on parts they found difficult, and helping the surmount other administrative challenges that would get in the way of their studies. I guess I would categorize that on removing all distractions. But that's easier said than done. Some distractions are under your control, others are not. Eliminating all distractions takes time and can be draining.
Anyway, I know this isn't exactly on topic, but your post reminded me, and it is closely related nonetheless. They say you can learn anything on youtube. Thing is. you have to watch 10 hours of useless videos to get to that one that put things in terms that you can understand. Can you then say you learned how to grow radishes in 1 hour? What becomes of that 10 hours of video where you learned next to nothing?
Nevertheless, I appreciate the compliment, but I wouldn't call myself awesome. Rather, I say I was aware -- of some of the difficulties in learning a new skills, and so can often recognize and focus on getting around those difficulties. When the author claims 20 hours it takes for granted that all the time is productive, and ignores the time it takes to get through all the useless material to get to that actual leaning point. A structured learning environment removes much of that effort, but not necessarily all of it.
Of course the true definition of learning has always bothered me as well. Is memorizing learning? If you don't understand what the nomenclature or what the jargon means, knowing the definition won't help you much. On the other hand, you can always memorize a passage and get it right, but that doesn't mean you understand it. If an instructor puts it in the right words you can learn something new instantly. When they don't, or can't, they can repeat it a million times and it still won't resonate or have any real meaning. I offer my most challenging example: A linear equation is an equation in the form y = mx + b. Maybe its ridiculously clear to some folks (a left brain/right brain thing?), but it wasn't to me. At least, not at the time.
Cliffs:
1) Part of learning is teaching, and teachers can be good or really, really bad.
2) Only a small percentage of teachers go beyond the minimum required to teach.
3) Total study time is not always relate to total learning time.
4) Comfortable learning environments vary, and can sometimes be difficult to achieve.
5) Memorizing material may not be considered the same as learning it.

as a person trying to get better at art, this is really helpful and i'm both sad and glad that i saw this now because the 13 y/o me from 2013 probably wouldn't have taken these tips into account and wouldn't have used them
Draw every day. And do not underestimate the power of tracing. The act of tracing will teach a lot to your wrist.
@Abhiram Gudey Thank you for posting this information, the first time I ever heard this before.
Lol same here. 🤣
I’m the same age as you and I really wanna learn how to draw too!
i've been an artist for years now, and although i'd consider myself an amateur in terms of technical skill, i will give you some advice that helped me the most.
don't lure yourself into believing the technical skills are all that make an artist great, they certainly help with creating works but that's where it ends.
there's no "proper way" to start learning, don't follow guides or instructions on how to draw, they are great to learn about new techniques but that's where it ends.
just draw, paint, sculpt or whatever you want to do, in whatever order you wish!
the most important aspect of artistry is actually enjoying the creative process, because if you don't enjoy what you create, then it's very easy to lose interest in art.
never be afraid to make mistakes, and then erase them (in some cases the entire work itself).
never feel like you are forced to do a work you don't wish to, or lack the energy/passion to complete.
and probably one of the more important things, is to create art for YOURSELF!
don't be put down by others judgements on your works, they are for you first, your expression and your message! (even if someone is positive to your work, you will find often almost everyone will say the same positive thing "oh that looks nice/good" they often mean well, but lack the words or artistic knowledge to express such, it will get tiring very fast).
and don't fall into the trap of creating art for others, it can be fun, but having to follow another person vision gets tiresome after a short while.
For the method go to 9:46

Saul Montiel Thanks Mr.President
Saul Montiel and
The 20 hours thing is an interesting concept to make you realize that it's not impossible to achieve something, to learn something new. But everything else wasn't really groundbraking, the 4 steps thing looked like something pretty useless and automatic: don't get distracted! don't procrastinate! try to understand what you're trying to learn! In the end it all boils down to 18:30: The major barrier to learning new things is not intellectual but emotional. We need to really WANT it, as with many other things in life.. we will eventually get there by overcoming the fears, by sparking that passion, that curiosity, that interest for what we're trying to learn.. what turns you on, what lights you up? Go out there and do that!
Well said.
Well, this kind of raises another question after the WANTING - how to want what we want? Because before that, there was an idea planted in our minds of that there is something we want to do, which looks beautiful at the beginning and every single thought of it makes us feel happy. There certainly are things i want to do, and it bothers me every day that i can't just dive into them, even though i know that i want them, but i just can't overcome the barrier of actually doing it! I know this sounds pretty daft but the struggle is real.
Amen to this
I always appreciate comments like yours and save us so many time! thank you bro

I finally realized that the reason why I couldn't acquire new skills thanks to watching this video. I always quit learning new things within 20 hours because I didn't find any progress about them and got frustration. From now on, I'm gonna keep learning at least 20 hours. And I think that I can automatically keep doing it if I could achieve more than 20 hours because it will become routine of my life. I appreciate the speaker for giving me motivation.

4 simple steps to “Rapid Skill acquisition” are:
1- Deconstruct the skill and decide exactly what you would be able to do by breaking down the skill into smaller pieces
2- Learn enough to self correct
(Learn enough part of the skill which you can practice and self correct)
3- Remove practice barriers (distractions) by utilising a little will power
4- Practice at least 20 hours
Impressive with live demo and stunning punch line "The main barrier is not intellectual -- it's EMOTIONAL.
This makes learning something more digestible instead of getting overwhelmed by the task. So right. Wish I watched this earlier in my life :’-)
Years and years later, this talk is still incredible!!!
What I learned is: we need to be able to deconstruct the skill, and learn enough to self assess our progress eliminating diseraction while practice time, and put our 20 hours .This was so excellent.
Maybe search online or a book can help us to deconstruct a skill. But I have no idea how to know that we've already have the ability to do self correct
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
The most intimidating thing while learning something new is plateau effect... When you feel you get stuck
Yeah, gets me everytime
The learning curve exists because once you have a bit of basics, everything else that comes after that has is harder, more advanced and as you inch your way forward, it takes more time to understand and apply.
exactly i agree!
The "Transition curve" is also very relevant (IMO) google it.
That´s true i mean learn chess is too easy, just move some pieces with a patrol. But be a professional is too hard
I'm learning to play guitar.
Since I first wanted to play guitar, it has been 6 years. I played it and droped it.
Now I determined to devote myself into it. I hope this time I can really master it.
You need to live with the music. Don't put your guitar in the case under the bed. Put it in the bed, take it into the bathroom with you. This is case by case, however, take your guitar with you to parties. Make a public commitment to learning to play. Ask around and try to find a mentor or peer that will help you. Who knows you might get laid. (worked for me) If you swerve into someone that will hang with you when you are a bad player, the future could be bright.
Also pick some tunes that you like or someone you like wants to hear and have some fun. Good luck and good picking.
P.S. Don't know what your playing, however, I suggest you follow the advice of BB King and Billy Gibbons and use lighter strings.
Commit to learning the basic chords like this man did and then go from there. I love guitar and am always happy when someone else's joins the club! Hope you've picked it back up!
So, 20 hours wasn't enough? ;)
Hey man. So.. did you give it a try in this last 6 months?
I hear you man i left drawling 4 years ago feeling like it was not something i was good at or needed but the pencil kept calling me. This video helped me draw again hopfully much better now.
Even though this video have been posted before 10yrs still the vibe and impactfulness remains the same as it is✨
The effective way of doing that is setting aside time for studying each day, just like you do for eating and sleeping. Maintain a consistent schedule from day to day. The length of time required for study will vary depending on the individual's knowledge of the subject.Your focus will increase if you make it a habit to study in the same spot at the same time every day.
Loved this talk! Imagine as teachers, we can design our course instruction to follow this exact process. That is, we can deconstruct the skills, identify the most critical/fundamental sub skills, decide what the right mix of resources are, teach them how to self-correct, create the barrier-less conditions, and structure the 20 hour plan for that skill. Perhaps in math, chapter 3 is the big skill and the sections are the sub-skills. Hmmm...I am going to play around with this.
@roger great reflection
love it
You got it Roger! Although I haven't refined it to 20 hours, it's the basis of my teaching for both English and Spanish :)
As I watched this TEDx talk, I kept saying over and over, "Spot on!" Isn't that what we, as teachers, have already been doing all along? No? Then you're either new to teaching, haven't figured it out yet, or are a professional development speaker in need of a pseudo-new hook so you can pick up ridiculously large fees instructing experienced and accomplished educators on the latest, wiz-bang teaching method neatly packaged and marketed to justify your product. That stated, I do agree that this is a terrific talk -- for students, as reinforcement for what we educators do or ... for those who are otherwise, clueless about the validity of practice, exercises and drills. Jus' sayin'
Absolutely brilliant. Everything said was spot on. Anyone can start to achieve any goal with just a little practice and motivation and leaving the fear behind. Use fear as a focus to achieve your goal, not to prevent it.
use fear as a focus to achieve...!!!
how's that even possible???
You're so right! Once I started using my fear for motivation things started to go in the right path.
Love this so helpful thanks. self edit really helps as it puts the onus on action, which I've been overlooking in favour of achieving more theory, which is a bit of a cop out.
like a god bless having opportunity to watch this in this era. thank u so much
One of my ultimate favorite TED TALKS of all time!!!
