Becoming Reasonably Good
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.

Deconstruct the Skill
- Break the skill into various small parts, remembering that every big skill is a collection of many sub-skills.
- Identify the essential sub-skills needed to give you the maximum advantage.
- Practice the most important part that you have discovered, using the 80:20 principle in your learning.

Learn Just Enough
You don't need to become an expert before you start to learn any sub-set of the major skill. You just need to learn enough, so you can self-correct when you make mistakes.

Remove Barriers to Practice
Remove any obstacles that may distract you from practicing your sub-skill. Television is the biggest culprit, followed by smartphones.
Learning something new will come with some frustration. That will be a time to safeguard yourself from any distractions so you remain focused on learning the skill.

Practice for 20 Hours
It is not humanly possible to practice all in a twenty-hour stretch.
A distributed practice learning method is achievable. It would roughly mean 45 minutes of practice for a period of thirty days in a row.
For instance, writing every evening for 30 minutes can give you a reward of a 25 000-word book in a 5 - 6 week period.

Overcoming the barrier to learn
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.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
