The importance of consistency
There is a difference between becoming an expert vs becoming reasonably good at something: An expert means reaching the lop level in one's field. Being reasonably good at something means you have moved from 'grossly incompetent,' and can now handle that activity reasonably well. If your goal is to have a reasonable understanding of some field, you can achieve your learning goal in 20 hours.

The major obstacle in learning anything new is not intellectual - it is emotional.
The fear of sounding stupid stops us. In reality, you can learn anything if you wish to with a little daily practise over a repeated period of time.
