Step 1: Decide exactly what you want. Step 2: Deconstructing the skills. Step 3: Researching just enough to identify, understand and self correct most important sub skills. Don't allow research to procrastinate you. Best approach is to go to 3-4 resources and don't complete it by skipping unimportant part. Step 4: Removing barriers to practice. Make important thing easily accessible. Step 5: Pre commit at least 20 hours in skills to check how important that skill is for you.

1 set up ur goal 2 break down into smaller goals and steps 3 research on every sub tasks: 3 - 5 resources, focus on resources that repetedly appear 4 remove barriers to pratice , avoid distractions: tv, Internet, friends, social media, focus and force urself to pratice 5 pre-commitment at least 20 hours to make it through (40 mins x 30day) thank u for ur share with this "common sense".
@@jacobscrackers98 That's exactly what I was thinking!! Then what? I think I know and that means A LOT more than just 20 hours!! The subject I'm thinking of has a lot of micro-subjects and you need to be really good at ALL of those if you want to be good at the main subject, because they ALL tie in together!! Suck at any ONE of the micro-subjects and you will suck at the main subject!!! In other words... Your only going to be as good as your weakest link! It's not ALL bad, if you know which link is weakest, strengthen it and your good to go!! That's why you should always break things down into so-called "links" that way you can always locate the weak link/links if you have one/some!!
That's exactly what I'm doing right now and didn't realize it until now! Thanks! Lol!!! I am a MASTER procrastinator and I've got way WAY WAY more than 20 hours into it!!!! LOL!!!!
I really like the way this man communicates. His way of delivering the content. Each of his words are clear, crisp, understandable and leaves a mark in ones mind.
As a software engineer who had to learn new things fast, i have to say through experience he is 100% correct. When i first started out 30 years ago i also believed in the 10 year concept. Now using the techniches disscuseed here i have found i can learn a new programming language in about a month if needed
What could you reccomend me for learning Java? I transferred from C++ and it is not hard for now. Maybe you have roadmap or something that can guide me.
1- Define what you want? 2- Deconstruct the skill 3- Research (3 to 4 resources) 4- Remove barriers to practice 5- Pre commit to 20 h practice I think it's worth watching the whole lecture.
And if you join AT&T get together with someone who has 30 years to learn. the first thing I was told on the job by an old timer is there's no book you can read to learn this job.
Not the one I was assigned to ride along with, he was very free with his knowledge. 30 years with the company and held in high regard by everyone that knew him.
@@mannycalavera121 Don't say that- you may have to pry his cold, dead fingers off of what HE knows, but it doesn't prevent you from increasing what YOU know now
I spent 40 minutes a day for one month so followed your advice and I became a full professor of mathematics. Thank you very much. You changed my life !!
Wow. Amazed at how clearly and persuasively he speaks. Excellent enunciation and smooth delivery. No reading from notes or teleprompters. No stumbling over or repeating words.
1, Decide exactly what you want... 2, Deconstructing the skill 3, Researching. Self-correct as you practice. 4, Removing barriers to practice. 5, Pre-commit to at least 20hrs of focused deliberate practice before you begin. Thanks Josh
Video games work that way... if you do not master the lower levels you will not get to the next level. Unfortunately elementary schools do not focus on mastery of the base...
Great! I was working on my typing skills and when I started I was like 30 wpm. But after following you I improved it greatly. I can type 120 wpm now. Thanks. I took 40hrs( 20hrs*2). Practicing at night is indeed very helpful.
Thanks. Last week I worked as a fishmonger in Tesco. But this week, thanks to you, I have in less than 20 hours become Britain's Top Gun Typhoon pilot. You have saved the RAF a fortune--all the other pilots needed at least 1, 000 hours.
This presentation is highly necessary for children, teens as well as adults....This should be played at every school in the country, at least once a week.
Great talk! Guys, do not overreact. "Ignorance may be absolute, but knowledge is always relative". In no way you can learn one thing even in 10k hours and be done with the learning process. Technology advances, knowledge expands with new discoveries in the field you're learning, and by the time you're done with your 10k hours there is new data you need to learn to keep being an expert in your field! Since even 10000 hours cannot guarantee that you'll become an expert once and for all (don't miss previous four words) and be done with learning process forever, what can you expect from 20 hours?! Well, the answer is in the video! You'll have one (or few) skills you are good at, and a pretty good idea if you want to keep on going with the learning process. Nothing else was promised! However, if you don't start this relatively short 20 hour walk, you won't know/be able to do the things you learned in this time period. So, instead of focusing on the index finger of the speaker please look in the direction he's pointing. (:
I've never been good at math but I had to take a course that I was told was very difficult, part of My Critical Thinking course required I memorized and practiced "Quadratic Equations" for a class and I mastered those formulas... How? I lived every moment I had formulas in my purse, car, bathroom, on my desk at home, every where I'd have a minute. When midterms & finals came I aced the course that so intimidated me. It can be done.
What a waste of time! You do not memorize formulas, you learn to derive them or you've learnt nothing. I suggest you learn some basic factorization and algebra and you'll never have to memorize anything. Exams are useless.
@@squarerootof2 deriving the quadratic equation is a waste of time. it's like 10 lines. you gonna do that every time you have to find the zeroes of an equation?
@@brendanbenedict31 It's not 10 lines and I didn't say you had to derive it to solve a quadratic equation. There're multiple ways to solve equations but if you don't know where the basic form for a quadratic equation comes from and how to derive the formula to solve ALL of them, then you know nothing. Try to learn something Brendan, memorizing will not get you very far.
I am an intuitive artist to begin with and I also agree on those steps. For me focusing is been the biggest struggle of my life, I’ve got better over the years. Today I am interested in learning as many skills I can to create a fulfilling life. I don’t know my future career and I do my best not to panic about it. Thank you Josh and great video!
I was struggling to learn English almost 15 years, but one day I decided just to use it as an instrument - I started to do search in English only, whole my computer and programs were switched to English, I watched movies only in English - and voila! I speak it as like it's my mother tongue. You have to tell your brain that what you learn is not only a thing you like to do, but also a very necessary one.
It takes five things to learn something as fast as possible. - Time - concentration - A goal and a target object - Motivation through moments of success during learning. - Try and Error to learn from oneself, in order to strengthen their learning curve and knowledge. (The learning by doing method). Result: Excited motivation is the kickstarter and accelerator of learning. The more motivation you get, the faster you learn.
The way I learn a new skill is like this. Say if I have 1 hour to learn that new skill, I spend 40 min only to get the concept / principle of that skill clear, I mean very very very clear. The remaining 20 odd min are more than enough to learn the technicalities of that new skill. As a learned person has once said "Learning any new skill without understanding the CONCEPT, is like riding a Mercedes without engine." That learned person is me, of course. Lovely video though :)
I was a professional dancer and I‘m teaching now about 20 years and I nearly say the same to my students! Like „ you will be frustrated that your brain get‘s it but your body does something else…Stop thinking about if it’s good or bad, just do it! …As a dancer before I went to sleep I get over the choreography‘s in my mind …well, everything he says is right for me!
What an amazing talk! I like Josh’s work on the Personal MBA and now this is just amazing. I love how he finds ways to empower others to start and achieve.
I think several people are missing the intention of what he is actually saying. He is speaking to the process of learning and how 20 hours is sufficient to breakthrough to capability for further knowledge. Its is a realistic starting point. Listen to 11:31 to 11:59. That's it. With a focused strategic effort and 20 hours you get results based, committed effort and ample skill and, "you will be astounded". You will become "good". Nowhere does he say you will be a master... like the '10,000 hour rule' evidence shows. Anyway, in my experience 20 hours or less of focused effort is sufficient. It depends on so many factors. Personal capability, purpose/motivation, interest, mood, emotion, focus, culture, etc.
Then that's what he should have said and saved us all a bunch of time and having to listen to him sing. Anyway, I don't think I agree with the premise, but food for thought.
I get it but those that do not are the ones that do not want to put in any effort to gain that knowledge. They only want to complain about how someone or the government etc screwed them over because they did not gain the knowledge needed to be able to protect themselves from being hoodwinked.
You're being very charitable - he does make the clear claim that 20-40 hours is enough to get "very good" at something. If he'd said it's enough to make a motivating start and see come concrete progress I'd have agreed, but that's not what he claimed. If you really think you can become "very good" at speaking Japanese or playing the violin in 20 hours, you're simply delusional.
I agree, either you're overconfident and overrate your own skills by the end of 20 hours (seems to be the American way these days) or you are a person with total recall--and that's very rare. This video and this guy themselves are evidence of what overrating one's own ability can lead to: other people wasting their time watching something they hoped to learn from, but instead, just come away scratching their heads, asking, "How does this make any sense, and if this guy is right, why isn't he good at his music?"
8:24 "It's extremely important to make sure you aren't distracted by outside forces.. 1- Turn off the TV 2- Block the internet 3- Close the door 4- Turn off your cell phone "
I thought he made this very clear. There's a lot of comments here like "it doesn't work for X" or "that's not true! it depends on the activity!". The point he's trying to make, is that it DOESNT TAKE 10,000 HOURS TO BECOME GOOD AT SOMETHING! This is an important differentiation. Many people, with the help of human-kind's natural tendency for laziness, avoid doing difficult things, like learning something new. He's addressing the point that a new reason people use for avoiding learning these days is the idea that"what's the point of trying, it'll take me 10,000 hours, I don't have that kind of time". Which, as he points out, is wildly inaccurate. In fact, to become decidedly competent in most anything, you only need to apply yourself for about 20 hours. The commenters who fiercely defend the idea that 20 hours isn't enough, are just throwing up yet another boundary or obstacle for themselves and others. This video is meant to inspire you to have a go. I mean come on! he played a ukulele after supposedly only practicing for 20 hours! Now I want to learn the guitar!
I disagree entirely. You miss the point entirely. He said "Good" not expert, not professional, but GOOD. He said you improve with each new learning sequence. Your criticism is entirely unfounded and invalid. This inspired me and I will return to learn a couple of skills I've always wanted to master and could not get over the hurdle: I will learn Arabic, Russian, Pashto and a few other language skills. People like yourself who discourage and criticize are merely another obstacle to be brushed aside.
Watched this video nearly 2 years ago, and talked my woman into learning s'thing in this way. She decided to learn to play the flute and plays now classical music, Pink Floyd, Pop, Jazz, folklore on the flute, went from beginner to advanced level, coming from zero. Thank you, Sir! You made a difference in this world.
Wow. I never cease to be amazed by modern science. So like if you practice stuff you get better at it. Research shows that the more you do something, the better you may be at it. Simply mind boggling. Who knew? Who would have guessed? This generation is the first one to think and figure stuff out.
I expect a lot of people struggle with two things: Distraction, and waiting too long choosing the perfect exact thing to study. Choosing to study something may be quite a commitment financially, on resources or on a qualification for it. Distraction I find personally is unsolvable unless I work in a public space like a library, or I'm really interested in something (state of flow). People have finite self control but expect to be able to have infinite, so you've got to force yourself into environments where it's not even needed.
To solve the problem of waiting to decide on the perfect thing to study, realise that you currently aren't doing anything at all, and at least choose something remotely useful after a couple hours of decision making.
If you've got to learn something that is already laid out for you, like if you're studying for your degree, then you've got to both get interested in the subject through youtube videos, understand its importance through a bit of googling, and just force yourself to work on it (e.g. working in a library).
It's amazing how many people will focus on the number 20, instead of the crux of the argument, which is the five step process that he identified to make learning a process that can be strategically executed.
Those same people were looking for a easier way to learn that actually taking responsibility for themselves and actually doing anything that they feel is too much work. Those same people will be the poor wretches wanting a hand out.
Excellent! I prefer shorter videos, but this was well worth the time. Learned on several levels - not just how to learn, but how to present without slides, how to entertain, how to connect the audience with a personal experience, and LOVE "I love THAT song!" Great job, thanks, Josh!
I put this concept to a test on myself..I quit school years ago and I always wanted to learn math atleast get to college level math.. but the thing I did differently was that I put more than 40 minutes a day to a couple of hours a day and in 2 months ..just by repetition..I learned Math from about a 7th grade level and I am now in college level math..I believe that if you want to learn something ..you can just by doing a little bit each day like he says ..

Decide exactly what u want - be clear about it 2. Break apart the skill into its smaller parts practice as individual skill 3. Self Correct: Pick 3-5 resources - identify the ideas coming again and again 4. Get on with the practice - avoid distractions 5. Make it easier to approach the skill by removing delay to access like unpacking a guitar, when u can have it near u Commit on 20 hours or don't start early hours are frustrating beginning is boring, go through it Pre Commit that you'd do 20 hours of effort Learning a Skill is: A Focused Strategic Effort invested in something u care about, Something which is going to be rewarding to u in your life - The process of learning is not difficult - 3 phases of learning 1. cognitive - really thinking about it 2. Interrelating - starting to do on your own 3. automatic
@@20cmusic 10,000 hours is good if you want to get to expert level. If you want to learn something at a level where you can do it without embarrassing yourself, 20 hours is a good start.
@@jerriclemons3718 So true, I've been playing the drums for about 41 years!! Started at 13 and now I'm 54 and I can honestly say that after only 20 hours of learning how to play the drums, that still puts you deep in embarrassing yourself stage!! LOL!!
Thank you Mr. Kaufman. I'm a judo coach and the magic number for aspiring champions is 5,000. If you haven't practiced a certain move at least five thousand times you'll never be good enough to use it successfully in a competition. OK. But tell this to a ten year old and he wilts at the thought. Now I see that systematically dividing it up into 20 hours of focused practice provides easily attainable goals that combined at the end of the process puts everything within easy reach. Brilliant.
Think positive and be positive make your dream to be best in the world you would be at that place. for that you need to follow the same steps. i believe this will work and i am going to start practice from today on wards.Thanks Josh Kaufman.
And touches your emotions through his humor. Does not come across as humorous in first half, thats what makes the medley so funny. Makes me want to learn the eukalalie.
Truly magnetic and deeply thought provoking, inspiring!! I'm in awe of this person's radiant positivity! Thank you. 20 hours. 20 hours. I can start with that.
I accidentally hit upon the link to this video, which has been posted seven years ago. I wish I had watched it the day it first appeared. The presentation is really impressive. Like it very much. Better late than never.
How to watch a movie on Netflix: 1- Describe what you want from the movie 2- Deconstruct the elements of your description (a certain actor, types of scenes) 3- Research 3 to 4 resources or videos on youtube; ie, "movies with (desired actor/actress)" or "movies with (type of scene)" 4- Remove barriers to watching (avoid watching more videos or reading too many reviews, silence your phone's notifications, etc) 5- Pre commit to 2 hours of watching Just pick and watch the dang movie, steps 1-5 should take between 3 to 8 minutes.
Practical. Thanks. Probably just beginning to watch such a video puts the viewer of the video in the category of being more ready to learn (about) at topic.
The best part for me was discovering myself in the context of the way my life path was. Everything I know now I know for sure. Everything I learn now its stay because I am still in other areas that would have been a distraction to my growth. Learning is not linear.

Kaufman is in fact telling us what we already know, that is; step by step little by little or in other words, practice makes perfect. Anyone with brains knows this. The reason for his smug talk and the inordinate length of his talk is simply this; a sales pitch for his book and a lift to his Ego. That is the primary reason for many talks and presentations in the first place. If you did not know this, Now you do. Good luck with whatever you are undertaking people.
10:44I do not blindly agree. If it's something you ever wanted to do and you do have fun and great feelings WHILE doing it, its way more in the opposite way, that you do have fun on it before cause you know you'll be doing it, and you'll be having fun learning it. But at this point, the good feeling is consistently going down while coming a bit back up when reaching some subgoals.That's at least my opinion, obviously not on every Goal, but at some it is.
Yeah I agree with that mostly. However consider learning bad habits. If you learn something by just having fun with it - you're more likely yo focus on the fun bits and maybe not the boring essentials. So long term your learning may be capped and you'll have been doing to skill for years without reaching a high level.
1. Decide what you want to do. 2. Deconstruct the skill. 3. Research. 4. Removing barriers and distractions to practice. 5. Precommit to 20 hours of practice.
I'm glad I did not turn this video off. I actually learned something and had fun doing it. I taught Sales Management in college, so I have one little piece of advice. What you have to say is important and possibly you should write a book seriously or young people. Preferably, the earlier in life the better. One last thing, having everything blend in is interesting but I prefer to be able to see with a speaker is.
Holy shit. For such a great video, I've never read so many negative, victim-oriented comments in my life. Jeez guys- jump already; the rest of us will be improving ourselves.
Those that made the negative comments probably are the ones that complain about how difficult it is to learn anything or they complain about their kids not learning anything. Why because they want to enter their or their kids brains through osmosis. Most kids these days are not taught to learn and study in school. They are taught only to do as instructed. Want successful kids then teach them to study. Life is the largest classroom any of us have to deal with. So time to realize that if you stop learning they you are the walking dead. Knowledge is the weapon that the elite do not want anyone to have.
The early hours of practicing your skill are frustrating. The recipe is to repeat! repeat! repeat!.......Wow Thank you so much Josh!...... Excellent video!
Wow! You rock! My late husband was a professional guitarist. When people continually stumbled over a part of the tune, he'd tell them just to focus on those few chords or notes over and over, at any time, rather than go back to the beginning. It was extremely effective. The young had dexterity but struggled with discipline. The older had less dexterity but didn't try to run before they could walk it.
Josh Kaufman, the name is enough.Because in Hindi language Josh means enthusiasm to do any thing . So I would like to repeat in Hindi, Josh! Nam kafi hai.You realy awaken the enthusiastic child laying in me, who loved drawing, penting, sculpting etc.but today not getting enough time due to rush working hours. You awekan my hope that I can practice every day by just spending 40 min a day to masteries my hoby. Thank you very much.
yes this is so simple but would not have learned this skill in itself without coming across this video. Very well put and now I am going to have my son watch this whom is 14 now and this is very important to get him into more activities and a sense of confidence, self esteem all this he could get from implementing whats in this video Thank you for it. Love it.

I think that by hearing, reading, saying what you have learned out loud, then writing what you have learned done and finally repeating these steps at least 5 times will allow for you to learn so much quicker than normal.
The four stages are: Unconscious incompetence The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.[5] Conscious incompetence Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, they recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage. Conscious competence The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.[5] Unconscious competence The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.
im finally listening to this I want to learn more about the Bible about Jesus etc lol ..I always wanted to learn how to roller skate so I'm taking this message ..and also work on it with my kids
-set goals -break down -get subtasks & repetitive patterns -remove barriers & distractions -20 hours of focused practice & learning jump from cognitive to interrelative then automatic learning beautiful keep it up this is of great help to me
1 Decide what exactly what you want to do. 2 break the skill into sub skills and practice every sub skill. 3 find resources for the skill and sub skill . Don't procastinate. 4 Get away with the distractions . 5 20 hours of practice of self commitment that you want to do. Take it as your reward . 😊 6 Practice any physical movement skill. 7 Repeation is very important.
Thanks for confirming and giving me some validation to steps-to-learning that I previously subconsciously defined to myself. This confirmation will really have me more focus and on target with my goals, because now I will feel a sense of authority with my method to learning.
How dos it work out with more theoretical skills? How do you practice knowledge? For example critical thinking, psychological theories, basic chemistry.
So this guy is telling me out of 24hours in a day commit to 40 minutes a day? what do you do with the rest of the time, someone help me here, so if i wanted to learn biology or chemistry wouldn't i have to spend alot more time to it because it takes a long time to learn some concepts
First learn the skill by understanding all the components,learn all the terminology in order to communicate it to others,mirror the masters in every way..most important..in your mind picture yourself and believe you are a master while your applying the skill...I've learned many trades and skills using this method..its worked very well for me..I've heard many times throughout my life"have you done this before or how long did it take to be able to do that"?..the ability to pay attention to all the details and nuances will excell you faster at whatever it is your trying to do..always picture the outcome, result or finished project done by the master as your doing it.As time goes by you'll learn things faster because you know what to pay attention to.you can apply this way of thinking for any situation..I've been doing this my whole life and have excelled quickly in whatever is I want to learn at that time..
Good tips. 40 minutes a day for sure sounds effective. I wouldn't expect anyone to be "astounded" with the results though. I think you'll find your progress predictable. You'll go from novice to intermediate quickly enough, but you'll find yourself in the intermediate level for a long time unless you drastically increase your training regiment.

we usually watch these things in the hope of some magical formula...this video is very basic, not even near that formula. The fact is there exist no substitute of focus and consistency.
Great Video! My biggest insights when it comes to learning are: 1. To be focused and selective on information that will be useful to reach your goals. 2. Learn for Action! Transform the knowledge into valuable action and make it real. What is important for you when learning?
If he tried to play 'All The Things You Are' in G sharp by Irving Berlin, he would learn in just 20 seconds that the chord and key changes in the first eight bars would rapidly undermine his enthusiasm and give him a headache to go to bed with, or tried to play 'You Go To My Head' in B sharp followed by another sophisticated wonderful song... 'Laura' in D flat. However, he could soon master 'Knees up Mother Brown' and play it very well indeed.
thats how i met my husband. the 20 hours of talking , seeing each other, listening. and i was sure i wanna go on..:) and he was sure he wantedto go on.
Cool Thanks!! I just started learning to speak french and have been practicing before bed, coincidentally. I thought it was coming pretty easy! I can't wait to commit to the 20 hours and see how it goes for me!
Powerlifting and C programming for me. Its actually amazing how well one can pay attention to certain things after they've physically exerted energy. The body is relaxed and content and the mind is ready to learn.
Very good! Another encouragement that has helped me is understanding that the first feeling that something feels like it will take forever to learn or too long to get good enough at, is demonstrably not true. That initial discouraging feeling is part of our primitive animalistic system of lifesaving instincts causing us to see learning as linear (straight line on an x,y graph) and therefore taking too long or 'forever'. But, in fact, the learning 'curve' shows us that learning is 'curved' as easily seen on the x,y graph and is therefore exponential. So, initially it feels 'too' slow' but sooner than you think, it starts to accelerate and the rate of acceleration also increases! Understanding and visualizing this Learning Curve helps identify the limits or shortcomings within oneself of one's own animalistic instincts and see how things are actually better than they appear at first glance or first feel. This is true no just for learning!
Step 1: Decide exactly what you want.
Step 2: Deconstructing the skills.
Step 3: Researching just enough to identify, understand and self correct most important sub skills. Don't allow research to procrastinate you. Best approach is to go to 3-4 resources and don't complete it by skipping unimportant part.
Step 4: Removing barriers to practice. Make important thing easily accessible.
Step 5: Pre commit at least 20 hours in skills to check how important that skill is for you.
Summary: Choose Learning in the easy way because learning is not hard. It is a little bit of effort for having fun.
Thank you.
Thanks for elaborating
Wola.. Thanks

1 set up ur goal
2 break down into smaller goals and steps
3 research on every sub tasks: 3 - 5 resources, focus on resources that repetedly appear
4 remove barriers to pratice , avoid distractions: tv, Internet, friends, social media, focus and force urself to pratice
5 pre-commitment at least 20 hours to make it through (40 mins x 30day)

'Dont't allow this research to become a form of procrastination itself.' That's a valuable statement right there. I know that I'm guilty of this.
I found this video while researching...ummm...procrastinating.
But what if what you want to learn is an area of knowledge, not a skill?
@@jacobscrackers98
That's exactly what I was thinking!! Then what? I think I know and that means A LOT more than just 20 hours!! The subject I'm thinking of has a lot of micro-subjects and you need to be really good at ALL of those if you want to be good at the main subject, because they ALL tie in together!! Suck at any ONE of the micro-subjects and you will suck at the main subject!!! In other words... Your only going to be as good as your weakest link!
It's not ALL bad, if you know which link is weakest, strengthen it and your good to go!! That's why you should always break things down into so-called "links" that way you can always locate the weak link/links if you have one/some!!
That's exactly what I'm doing right now and didn't realize it until now! Thanks! Lol!!! I am a MASTER procrastinator and I've got way WAY WAY more than 20 hours into it!!!! LOL!!!!
I'm always guilty of this
I really like the way this man communicates. His way of delivering the content. Each of his words are clear, crisp, understandable and leaves a mark in ones mind.
As a software engineer who had to learn new things fast, i have to say through experience he is 100% correct. When i first started out 30 years ago i also believed in the 10 year concept. Now using the techniches disscuseed here i have found i can learn a new programming language in about a month if needed
What could you reccomend me for learning Java? I transferred from C++ and it is not hard for now. Maybe you have roadmap or something that can guide me.
Thank you so much. I really needed this
1- Define what you want?
2- Deconstruct the skill
3- Research (3 to 4 resources)
4- Remove barriers to practice
5- Pre commit to 20 h practice
I think it's worth watching the whole lecture.
And if you join AT&T get together with someone who has 30 years to learn. the first thing I was told on the job by an old timer is there's no book you can read to learn this job.

obviously not
LOL
no, he is sarcastic, obviously!
LOL :D
Wow. Amazed at how clearly and persuasively he speaks. Excellent enunciation and smooth delivery. No reading from notes or teleprompters. No stumbling over or repeating words.
Removing distractions is much more important than we all think. Once we let ourselves fall into them, we have to start over again.
1, Decide exactly what you want...
2, Deconstructing the skill
3, Researching. Self-correct as you practice.
4, Removing barriers to practice.
5, Pre-commit to at least 20hrs of focused deliberate practice before you begin.
Thanks Josh
thanks for this
Thanks Kelvin, you saved me 24 minutes by not having to finish the video. 😀
Awesome video!
Video games work that way... if you do not master the lower levels you will not get to the next level. Unfortunately elementary schools do not focus on mastery of the base...
Thanks
Great! I was working on my typing skills and when I started I was like 30 wpm. But after following you I improved it greatly. I can type 120 wpm now. Thanks. I took 40hrs( 20hrs*2). Practicing at night is indeed very helpful.
12:29 "Learning... The process of learning is not difficult." If you don't listen to the whole speech, at least listen to this part. Excellent.
Thanks. Last week I worked as a fishmonger in Tesco. But this week, thanks to you, I have in less than 20 hours become Britain's Top Gun Typhoon pilot. You have saved the RAF a fortune--all the other pilots needed at least 1, 000 hours.
This presentation is highly necessary for children, teens as well as adults....This should be played at every school in the country, at least once a week.
That's how I found it. My professor played part of it and sent us the link if we wanted to watch the whole thing. Which explains why I'm here now. 😅🙌🏾
Great talk!
Guys, do not overreact. "Ignorance may be absolute, but knowledge is always relative". In no way you can learn one thing even in 10k hours and be done with the learning process. Technology advances, knowledge expands with new discoveries in the field you're learning, and by the time you're done with your 10k hours there is new data you need to learn to keep being an expert in your field! Since even 10000 hours cannot guarantee that you'll become an expert once and for all (don't miss previous four words) and be done with learning process forever, what can you expect from 20 hours?! Well, the answer is in the video! You'll have one (or few) skills you are good at, and a pretty good idea if you want to keep on going with the learning process. Nothing else was promised! However, if you don't start this relatively short 20 hour walk, you won't know/be able to do the things you learned in this time period.
So, instead of focusing on the index finger of the speaker please look in the direction he's pointing. (:
I've never been good at math but I had to take a course that I was told was very difficult, part of My Critical Thinking course required I memorized and practiced "Quadratic Equations" for a class and I mastered those formulas... How? I lived every moment I had formulas in my purse, car, bathroom, on my desk at home, every where I'd have a minute. When midterms & finals came I aced the course that so intimidated me. It can be done.
Thanks! I'll be memorizing the "Quadratic Equatikns" too so that I can aced my exam like you.
What a waste of time! You do not memorize formulas, you learn to derive them or you've learnt nothing. I suggest you learn some basic factorization and algebra and you'll never have to memorize anything. Exams are useless.
memorizing Quadratic equations might be easy but how do u plan on cracking engineering competitive exams ewww
@@squarerootof2 deriving the quadratic equation is a waste of time. it's like 10 lines. you gonna do that every time you have to find the zeroes of an equation?
@@brendanbenedict31 It's not 10 lines and I didn't say you had to derive it to solve a quadratic equation. There're multiple ways to solve equations but if you don't know where the basic form for a quadratic equation comes from and how to derive the formula to solve ALL of them, then you know nothing. Try to learn something Brendan, memorizing will not get you very far.
I am an intuitive artist to begin with and I also agree on those steps. For me focusing is been the biggest struggle of my life, I’ve got better over the years. Today I am interested in learning as many skills I can to create a fulfilling life.
I don’t know my future career and I do my best not to panic about it.
Thank you Josh and great video!
I was struggling to learn English almost 15 years, but one day I decided just to use it as an instrument - I started to do search in English only, whole my computer and programs were switched to English, I watched movies only in English - and voila! I speak it as like it's my mother tongue. You have to tell your brain that what you learn is not only a thing you like to do, but also a very necessary one.
It takes five things to learn something as fast as possible.
- Time
- concentration
- A goal and a target object
- Motivation through moments of success during learning.
- Try and Error to learn from oneself, in order to strengthen their learning curve and knowledge. (The learning by doing method).
Result: Excited motivation is the kickstarter and accelerator of learning. The more motivation you get, the faster you learn.

Its normal.. But not perfect atol😂
hope you did well?
The way I learn a new skill is like this. Say if I have 1 hour to learn that new skill, I spend 40 min only to get the concept / principle of that skill clear, I mean very very very clear. The remaining 20 odd min are more than enough to learn the technicalities of that new skill. As a learned person has once said "Learning any new skill without understanding the CONCEPT, is like riding a Mercedes without engine." That learned person is me, of course. Lovely video though :)
I was a professional dancer and I‘m teaching now about 20 years and I nearly say the same to my students! Like „ you will be frustrated that your brain get‘s it but your body does something else…Stop thinking about if it’s good or bad, just do it! …As a dancer before I went to sleep I get over the choreography‘s in my mind …well, everything he says is right for me!
What an amazing talk! I like Josh’s work on the Personal MBA and now this is just amazing. I love how he finds ways to empower others to start and achieve.
I think several people are missing the intention of what he is actually saying. He is speaking to the process of learning and how 20 hours is sufficient to breakthrough to capability for further knowledge. Its is a realistic starting point. Listen to 11:31 to 11:59. That's it.
With a focused strategic effort and 20 hours you get results based, committed effort and ample skill and, "you will be astounded". You will become "good". Nowhere does he say you will be a master... like the '10,000 hour rule' evidence shows.
Anyway, in my experience 20 hours or less of focused effort is sufficient. It depends on so many factors. Personal capability, purpose/motivation, interest, mood, emotion, focus, culture, etc.
Robert I agree with you. Some people have a mind like a sponge and many others do not and therefore takes them long to comprehend anything.
Then that's what he should have said and saved us all a bunch of time and having to listen to him sing. Anyway, I don't think I agree with the premise, but food for thought.
I get it but those that do not are the ones that do not want to put in any effort to gain that knowledge. They only want to complain about how someone or the government etc screwed them over because they did not gain the knowledge needed to be able to protect themselves from being hoodwinked.
You're being very charitable - he does make the clear claim that 20-40 hours is enough to get "very good" at something. If he'd said it's enough to make a motivating start and see come concrete progress I'd have agreed, but that's not what he claimed. If you really think you can become "very good" at speaking Japanese or playing the violin in 20 hours, you're simply delusional.
I agree, either you're overconfident and overrate your own skills by the end of 20 hours (seems to be the American way these days) or you are a person with total recall--and that's very rare. This video and this guy themselves are evidence of what overrating one's own ability can lead to: other people wasting their time watching something they hoped to learn from, but instead, just come away scratching their heads, asking, "How does this make any sense, and if this guy is right, why isn't he good at his music?"

@@kabotohaye8666
True 👍
Actually u might need using the internet for developing your skills or understanding the contents of your courses
I thought he made this very clear. There's a lot of comments here like "it doesn't work for X" or "that's not true! it depends on the activity!".
The point he's trying to make, is that it DOESNT TAKE 10,000 HOURS TO BECOME GOOD AT SOMETHING! This is an important differentiation. Many people, with the help of human-kind's natural tendency for laziness, avoid doing difficult things, like learning something new. He's addressing the point that a new reason people use for avoiding learning these days is the idea that"what's the point of trying, it'll take me 10,000 hours, I don't have that kind of time". Which, as he points out, is wildly inaccurate. In fact, to become decidedly competent in most anything, you only need to apply yourself for about 20 hours.
The commenters who fiercely defend the idea that 20 hours isn't enough, are just throwing up yet another boundary or obstacle for themselves and others. This video is meant to inspire you to have a go. I mean come on! he played a ukulele after supposedly only practicing for 20 hours! Now I want to learn the guitar!
Robnoxious77 Deep understanding, I fully agree with you.
Preach! That's exactly his point! Thanks for emphasizing! Some people love living in their fancy comfort zone.
🖒
GOOD COMMENTARY...THANKYOU!
I disagree entirely. You miss the point entirely. He said "Good" not expert, not professional, but GOOD. He said you improve with each new learning sequence. Your criticism is entirely unfounded and invalid. This inspired me and I will return to learn a couple of skills I've always wanted to master and could not get over the hurdle: I will learn Arabic, Russian, Pashto and a few other language skills. People like yourself who discourage and criticize are merely another obstacle to be brushed aside.
Watched this video nearly 2 years ago, and talked my woman into learning s'thing in this way. She decided to learn to play the flute and plays now classical music, Pink Floyd, Pop, Jazz, folklore on the flute, went from beginner to advanced level, coming from zero.
Thank you, Sir! You made a difference in this world.
Wow. I never cease to be amazed by modern science. So like if you practice stuff you get better at it. Research shows that the more you do something, the better you may be at it. Simply mind boggling. Who knew? Who would have guessed? This generation is the first one to think and figure stuff out.
I expect a lot of people struggle with two things: Distraction, and waiting too long choosing the perfect exact thing to study. Choosing to study something may be quite a commitment financially, on resources or on a qualification for it. Distraction I find personally is unsolvable unless I work in a public space like a library, or I'm really interested in something (state of flow). People have finite self control but expect to be able to have infinite, so you've got to force yourself into environments where it's not even needed.
To solve the problem of waiting to decide on the perfect thing to study, realise that you currently aren't doing anything at all, and at least choose something remotely useful after a couple hours of decision making.
If you've got to learn something that is already laid out for you, like if you're studying for your degree, then you've got to both get interested in the subject through youtube videos, understand its importance through a bit of googling, and just force yourself to work on it (e.g. working in a library).
And don't get distracted watching videos like this one like me
It's amazing how many people will focus on the number 20, instead of the crux of the argument, which is the five step process that he identified to make learning a process that can be strategically executed.
Yes, but most people didn't finish the video to hear those 5 steps. He actually has good concrete advice.
Those same people were looking for a easier way to learn that actually taking responsibility for themselves and actually doing anything that they feel is too much work. Those same people will be the poor wretches wanting a hand out.

A good road map to learning anything. 23 minutes worth anyone's time. Take notes! Thank you for posting.
Excellent! I prefer shorter videos, but this was well worth the time. Learned on several levels - not just how to learn, but how to present without slides, how to entertain, how to connect the audience with a personal experience, and LOVE "I love THAT song!" Great job, thanks, Josh!
This 20 minutes video about 20 hours method has changed my life ....I am from Yemen
I put this concept to a test on myself..I quit school years ago and I always wanted to learn math atleast get to college level math.. but the thing I did differently was that I put more than 40 minutes a day to a couple of hours a day and in 2 months ..just by repetition..I learned Math from about a 7th grade level and I am now in college level math..I believe that if you want to learn something ..you can just by doing a little bit each day like he says ..
Another important factor is the "level of interest" in whatever you want to learn. Be as passionate as possible in those 40 mins to reach your goal!!!

learn a Skill, be fun and exiciting
Dr ericcsion's idea - 10,000 hours rule - required to master
deliberate systematic practicing to master
it's not true that one requires 10,000 hours
A skill from nothing to good takes about 20 hours
40 minutes a day for a month
This method has 5 steps
1. Decide exactly what u want - be clear about it
2. Break apart the skill into its smaller parts
practice as individual skill
3. Self Correct: Pick 3-5 resources - identify the ideas coming again and again
4. Get on with the practice - avoid distractions
5. Make it easier to approach the skill by removing delay to access
like unpacking a guitar, when u can have it near u
Commit on 20 hours or don't start
early hours are frustrating
beginning is boring, go through it
Pre Commit that you'd do 20 hours of effort
Learning a Skill is:
A Focused Strategic Effort invested in something u care about,
Something which is going to be rewarding to u in your life
- The process of learning is not difficult
-
3 phases of learning
1. cognitive - really thinking about it
2. Interrelating - starting to do on your own
3. automatic

Thank you Mr. Kaufman. I'm a judo coach and the magic number for aspiring champions is 5,000. If you haven't practiced a certain move at least five thousand times you'll never be good enough to use it successfully in a competition. OK. But tell this to a ten year old and he wilts at the thought. Now I see that systematically dividing it up into 20 hours of focused practice provides easily attainable goals that combined at the end of the process puts everything within easy reach. Brilliant.
If I block the internet, I could not watch this priceless video. It is not about blocking, it is about discipline in first place.
Think positive and be positive make your dream to be best in the world you would be at that place. for that you need to follow the same steps. i believe this will work and i am going to start practice from today on wards.Thanks Josh Kaufman.

How to watch a movie on Netflix:
1- Describe what you want from the movie
2- Deconstruct the elements of your description (a certain actor, types of scenes)
3- Research 3 to 4 resources or videos on youtube; ie, "movies with (desired actor/actress)" or "movies with (type of scene)"
4- Remove barriers to watching (avoid watching more videos or reading too many reviews, silence your phone's notifications, etc)
5- Pre commit to 2 hours of watching
Just pick and watch the dang movie, steps 1-5 should take between 3 to 8 minutes.
Practical. Thanks. Probably just beginning to watch such a video puts the viewer of the video in the category of being more ready to learn (about) at topic.

Learning is not linear.
1. Mỗi ngày học 20-45p trong vòng 1 tháng
2. 5 bước:
+ B1: Quyết định chính xác những gì bạn muốn.
+ B2: Chia kỹ năng thành các phần nhỏ nhất có thể và thực hành các kỹ năng đó
+ B3: Nghiên cứu xem đâu là kỹ năng đặc biệt quan trọng cần phải tập luyện nhất. Có thể tra cứu 3-5 nguồn khác nhau (sách,DVD,trainer,...) và tìm các ý
lặp đi lặp lại thì ý tưởng đó đặc biệt quan trọng và cần phải học. Không đọc hết mà đọc lướt qua chúng
+ B4: Bỏ qua các tác nhân gây phiền nhiễu và tập trung vào điều bạn muốn làm
+ B5: Cam kết thực hiện 20h trước khi hoàn thành
Kaufman is in fact telling us what we already know, that is; step by step little by little or in other words, practice makes perfect. Anyone with brains knows this. The reason for his smug talk and the inordinate length of his talk is simply this; a sales pitch for his book and a lift to his Ego. That is the primary reason for many talks and presentations in the first place. If you did not know this, Now you do. Good luck with whatever you are undertaking people.
10:44I do not blindly agree. If it's something you ever wanted to do and you do have fun and great feelings WHILE doing it, its way more in the opposite way, that you do have fun on it before cause you know you'll be doing it, and you'll be having fun learning it. But at this point, the good feeling is consistently going down while coming a bit back up when reaching some subgoals.That's at least my opinion, obviously not on every Goal, but at some it is.
Yeah I agree with that mostly. However consider learning bad habits. If you learn something by just having fun with it - you're more likely yo focus on the fun bits and maybe not the boring essentials. So long term your learning may be capped and you'll have been doing to skill for years without reaching a high level.
@5:34 - #2 Deconstruct the skill into subskills.
@6:38 - #3 Research enough to identify the important skills and become able to self-correct.
I think the essence in good learning is how you align the studies with your ultimate pursuit in your life
1. Decide what you want to do.
2. Deconstruct the skill.
3. Research.
4. Removing barriers and distractions to practice.
5. Precommit to 20 hours of practice.
I'm glad I did not turn this video off. I actually learned something and had fun doing it. I taught Sales Management in college, so I have one little piece of advice. What you have to say is important and possibly you should write a book seriously or young people. Preferably, the earlier in life the better. One last thing, having everything blend in is interesting but I prefer to be able to see with a speaker is.
Holy shit. For such a great video, I've never read so many negative, victim-oriented comments in my life. Jeez guys- jump already; the rest of us will be improving ourselves.
Stop reading them
Stop writing them
😂 I know this is four years later, but this is the best comment!! Good one!
Those that made the negative comments probably are the ones that complain about how difficult it is to learn anything or they complain about their kids not learning anything. Why because they want to enter their or their kids brains through osmosis. Most kids these days are not taught to learn and study in school. They are taught only to do as instructed. Want successful kids then teach them to study. Life is the largest classroom any of us have to deal with. So time to realize that if you stop learning they you are the walking dead. Knowledge is the weapon that the elite do not want anyone to have.
right
The early hours of practicing your skill are frustrating. The recipe is to repeat! repeat! repeat!.......Wow Thank you so much Josh!...... Excellent video!
I found your speech in the right time, thanks a lot professor. Definitely I will start your advice from this moment .
Wow! You rock! My late husband was a professional guitarist. When people continually stumbled over a part of the tune, he'd tell them just to focus on those few chords or notes over and over, at any time, rather than go back to the beginning. It was extremely effective. The young had dexterity but struggled with discipline. The older had less dexterity but didn't try to run before they could walk it.
Josh Kaufman, the name is enough.Because in Hindi language Josh means enthusiasm to do any thing . So I would like to repeat in Hindi, Josh! Nam kafi hai.You realy awaken the enthusiastic child laying in me, who loved drawing, penting, sculpting etc.but today not getting enough time due to rush working hours. You awekan my hope that I can practice every day by just spending 40 min a day to masteries my hoby. Thank you very much.
I think Josh has shared some great wisdom about learning a new skill... I’ve used these techniques for 30+ yrs and he’s spot on in his deconstruction.
yes this is so simple but would not have learned this skill in itself without coming across this video.

I think that by hearing, reading, saying what you have learned out loud, then writing what you have learned done and finally repeating these steps at least 5 times will allow for you to learn so much quicker than normal.
The four stages are:
Unconscious incompetence
The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.[5]
Conscious incompetence
Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, they recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.
Conscious competence
The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.[5]
Unconscious competence
The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

-remove barriers & distractions
-20 hours of focused practice & learning
jump from cognitive to interrelative then automatic learning
beautiful keep it up this is of great help to me
1 Decide what exactly what you want to do.
2 break the skill into sub skills and practice every sub skill.
3 find resources for the skill and sub skill . Don't procastinate.
4 Get away with the distractions .
5 20 hours of practice of self commitment that you want to do. Take it as your reward . 😊
6 Practice any physical movement skill.
7 Repeation is very important.
Thanks for confirming and giving me some validation to steps-to-learning that I previously subconsciously defined to myself. This confirmation will really have me more focus and on target with my goals, because now I will feel a sense of authority with my method to learning.
Great podcast. Focused, strategic effort. Remove all the barriers that limit your learning or commitment to learn.
How dos it work out with more theoretical skills?
How do you practice knowledge?
For example critical thinking, psychological theories, basic chemistry.
So this guy is telling me out of 24hours in a day commit to 40 minutes a day? what do you do with the rest of the time, someone help me here, so if i wanted to learn biology or chemistry wouldn't i have to spend alot more time to it because it takes a long time to learn some concepts
Don’t be coward , don’t be lazy ,have patience and commit yourself into it. Practice makes perfect.

@Bro Ski Because it'll only take me a few months to get there yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Its really very helpful for me.exactly the best way to learn. I have applied it four year ago and its gave dramatically results.
First learn the skill by understanding all the components,learn all the terminology in order to communicate it to others,mirror the masters in every way..most important..in your mind picture yourself and believe you are a master while your applying the skill...I've learned many trades and skills using this method..its worked very well for me..I've heard many times throughout my life"have you done this before or how long did it take to be able to do that"?..the ability to pay attention to all the details and nuances will excell you faster at whatever it is your trying to do..always picture the outcome, result or finished project done by the master as your doing it.As time goes by you'll learn things faster because you know what to pay attention to.you can apply this way of thinking for any situation..I've been doing this my whole life and have excelled quickly in whatever is I want to learn at that time..
Good tips. 40 minutes a day for sure sounds effective. I wouldn't expect anyone to be "astounded" with the results though. I think you'll find your progress predictable. You'll go from novice to intermediate quickly enough, but you'll find yourself in the intermediate level for a long time unless you drastically increase your training regiment.
Instead of 20 minutes of reading idiotic comments, we could be learning a language.
I would tend to agree with you on this. I think you mean 'regimen', though. But yes - bringing things to the next level requires much more effort.
love the difference in sitting posture between the two guys at 25' on. Amazing just looking at the two of them sitting you get very different impression
I noticed this too, very strong posture from Josh, and the man on the right seemed very relaxed and slouched.
It takes smartness and courage to master something.
This is very true, I watched this video about a year ago, I applied his teaching when learning piano, Python & photoshop. And I've learned so much!
What can you do from a years worth of Python practice? I'm just starting out.
Thank you very much for the inspiration. I have just started to try to learn to play the diatonic accordion, the cajun accordion. You give me hope. And I'm giving it at least a half an hour to 40 minutes a day for at least 20 hours and then I'll go from there. Thank you again
One of the most encouraging, inspirational and amazing videos in my life ! You are doing an awesome job. God bless you
we usually watch these things in the hope of some magical formula...this video is very basic, not even near that formula. The fact is there exist no substitute of focus and consistency.
Thanks.. you saved me from wasting 25 minutes of my life. =)
May I suggest you read "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle. John Ellis, Aldie, Virginia
Thanks, do you have the book, can you please sent it to me, tahmas.uz@gmail.com
@@tahmasuz Why don't you consider actually buying it? That's many people's hard work that you are asking for free.
Great Video! My biggest insights when it comes to learning are:
1. To be focused and selective on information that will be useful to reach your goals.
2. Learn for Action! Transform the knowledge into valuable action and make it real.
What is important for you when learning?
Incredible insight. My journey to learning how to become an outstanding writer begins.
15:40 Kawaii ne! you can tell that instrument, makes him happy! That smile he tries to tuck away... I hope he still plays! :)
Hai Kawii Desu ne!
So south African...ne!
If he tried to play 'All The Things You Are' in G sharp by Irving Berlin, he would learn in just 20 seconds that the chord and key changes in the first eight bars would rapidly undermine his enthusiasm and give him a headache to go to bed with, or tried to play 'You Go To My Head' in B sharp followed by another sophisticated wonderful song...
'Laura' in D flat.
However, he could soon master 'Knees up Mother Brown' and play it very well indeed.
Sugoi desu ne~
thats how i met my husband. the 20 hours of talking , seeing each other, listening. and i was sure i wanna go on..:) and he was sure he wantedto go on.
Cool Thanks!! I just started learning to speak french and have been practicing before bed, coincidentally. I thought it was coming pretty easy! I can't wait to commit to the 20 hours and see how it goes for me!
how did it go with you
He's Right, people ask how I learn music so quick, I practiced at least one hour a day, even when i couldn't. I thought of it.
Thank you sir! I’m 23 years old studying to become a engineer at Oklahoma state university
Congratulations 🎉
Nothing helped me grasp the nature of learning more than picking up 2 skills. Guitar, and weight lifting.
Mine is painting (art) and computer programming.
Kristy Whalen I’m learning programming right now, which is why I’m watching this video. How many hrs did you practice each day and for how long?
Powerlifting and C programming for me. Its actually amazing how well one can pay attention to certain things after they've physically exerted energy. The body is relaxed and content and the mind is ready to learn.
Loooove this so much, the message and the delivery
He has definitely taken time correcting his posture. Just look at how upright he is on the chair. 😮😮
Lovely lecture I ever heard. Very informative and excellent. ♥♥♥💐💐💐
Very good! Another encouragement that has helped me is understanding that the first feeling that something feels like it will take forever to learn or too long to get good enough at, is demonstrably not true. That initial discouraging feeling is part of our primitive animalistic system of lifesaving instincts causing us to see learning as linear (straight line on an x,y graph) and therefore taking too long or 'forever'. But, in fact, the learning 'curve' shows us that learning is 'curved' as easily seen on the x,y graph and is therefore exponential. So, initially it feels 'too' slow' but sooner than you think, it starts to accelerate and the rate of acceleration also increases! Understanding and visualizing this Learning Curve helps identify the limits or shortcomings within oneself of one's own animalistic instincts and see how things are actually better than they appear at first glance or first feel. This is true no just for learning!
