Here are the four important steps of this 20-Hour roadmap to learning something new.
To learn any new skill, the first step is to break that skill into various small components. Remember every big skill is a bundle of many small skills covered in it.
Now, once you have deconstructed the skill, the important thing to remember is to practice the most important parts of that skill first. The main thing here is to practice intelligently; given our objective of becoming reasonably good at something in 20 hours.
Therefore, while deconstructing, you have to identify the most important sub-skills needed that will give you maximum advantage - you need to follow 80:20 principle in your learning , also known as Pareto's principle .

Let's make it simpler, If you just want 80% proficiency, maybe 2 to 3 months learning is sufficient. But you need to find out 2.5% of any specific language.
When you are starting out to learn any mini-skill (as a subset of the major skill), you don't need to become an expert before you start out. Rather, you need to learn just enough, so that when you find yourself committing mistakes, you can self-correct yourself.
The next step in the process is to remove any obstacles that may come as a hindrance to your practicing of the sub-skill . Generally, TV is the biggest culprit, followed by our smartphones that steal our willpower as we drift away from practicing.
