The first few hours of learning something new are always the hardest, and this is where most people give up. However, if you break your initial 20 hours down into an hour of practice per day, you will rapidly improve. You will then find it considerably easier to continue building your skillset after you’ve completed the first 20 hours. Once you get through the first 20 hours, you’ll have a significant amount of practice under your belt, and further practice won’t be as difficult. Making the most of these initial 20 hours relies on adopting the ten principles of rapid skill acquisition.

Josh Kaufman starts by highlighting it is likely you have a skill you have always wanted to learn. For instance, maybe it’s competently playing the piano, doing well on the tennis court, or becoming conversational in French. Crucially, it is never too late to learn your chosen skill. One of the most common regrets is wishing one had pursued a skill earlier. Subsequently, humans will often quickly give up before even becoming familiar with the basics because they believe it’s too late.

Use Rapid Skill Acquisition to Learn Within 20 Hours

As well as choosing your skill level, you also have to utilize smaller steps. Break your chosen skills down into bite-sized pieces you can tackle one by one. You don’t attempt to down an entire meal in one bite, and you shouldn’t try to learn a skill in one swing. By dividing up the work ahead of you, progress will be easier, and the steps you need to take to succeed will be more clear-cut.

Utilize Smaller Steps 

Don’t try to learn multiple new concepts at once because you’ll progress slowly, which is not motivating at all. Did you know you can achieve a magical “flow” state by spending more time focusing?Josh Kaufman explains that you should practice in 20-minute bursts so that you can focus all your energy on your chosen learning task. On top of this, these bursts should be characterized by deliberate and consistent practices. Hence, quantity and speed are more important than the quality of your learning. The faster and more often you practice, the more rapidly you’ll acquire the skill.

In today’s world, people are busier than ever. So, if you want to learn a new skill, you need to make time to practice. This is Kaufman’s seventh principle of rapid skill acquisition. Identify other activities in your life that you aren’t fond of, and work to cut those out to fill that time with practicing your new skill. Your goal is to free up 60-90 minutes a day to dedicate to practicing.

Give Yourself Time to Practice

As well as defining the specific skill level you want to pursue, Kaufman also suggests you need to identify the tools you need to succeed at your skill level. These tools are the fundamental building blocks of your skill. For example, for Kaufman’s ukulele pursuit, the first tool he required was a working ukulele. Though this is a simple step, it is essential to find what materials and environments you’ll need to succeed in learning a new skill.

Acquire the Tools You Need

This is where we can use rapid skill acquisition to kickstart our experience. Through using this technique, you can become competent in various desirable skills by putting in 20 hours of work. These 20 hours will allow you to become acquainted with the basics, but skill mastery will require more than these initial 20 hours of investment.

Shortening your working periods helps mitigate the risk of working on difficult or tedious activities for extended periods. This is crucial as prolonged challenging work can be draining and often leads to inefficiency. When you first start learning, the hours of practice seem to drag on longer and longer. People tend to think they’ve actually spent more time working at the beginning of learning something new simply by how arduous learning the task is at the beginning.

Prioritize Quantity and Speed By Practicing in Short Bursts

<ol><li>Choose a lovable project.</li><li>Focus your energy on one skill at a time.</li><li>Define your target performance level.</li><li>Deconstruct the skill into subskills.</li><li>Obtain critical tools.</li><li>Eliminate barriers to practice.</li><li>Make dedicated time for practice.</li><li>Create fast feedback loops.</li><li>Practice by the clock in short bursts.</li><li>Emphasize quantity and speed.</li></ol>

Ten Principles of Rapid Skill Acquisition

"If you rely on finding time to do something, it will never be done. If you want to find time, you must make time."

"Skill is the result of deliberate, consistent practice, and in early-stage practice, quantity and speed trump absolute quality. The faster and more often you practice, the more rapidly you’ll acquire the skill."

<ol><li>Research the skill and related topics.</li><li>Jump in over your head.</li><li>Identify mental models and mental hooks.</li><li>Imagine the opposite of what you want.</li><li>Talk to practitioners to set expectations.</li><li>Eliminate distractions in your environment.</li><li>Use spaced repetition and reinforcement for memorization.</li><li>Create scaffolds and checklists.</li><li>Make and test predictions.</li><li>Honor your biology.</li></ol>

Ten Major Principles of Effective Learning

Deciding how talented you want to become at your chosen skill is the third principle in rapid skill acquisition. This is called your target performance level. It’s important because if you can envision the end goal, it’ll be easier to get there. Decide what level of skill is “good enough” for you. For example, if you’re learning to play an instrument, consider whether you want to play a few songs by heart or you want to jump into a jam session.

Choose Your Skill Level

Avoid this feeling from taking over by using a 20-minute time. The timer will let you know how long you’ve actually been practicing and, since you’ll know how long you’ve been working, you’ll be more motivated during that period. Your goal should be to do three to five of these 20-minute blocks of practice per day. If you do this, you’ll be shocked at how quickly you progress.

The author offers another example from his own life to highlight how he has used feedback. Kaufman received feedback when he was learning how to play the game Go. To do this, he downloaded a software called SmartGo, which gives the player feedback after every move. This software helped him identify his weak spots and made it simpler to progress.

It’s better to recognize that you’re likely a beginner, and you shouldn’t expect yourself to be an expert from the start. So, focus on practicing quickly and often. By prioritizing quantity and speed, you’re less likely to get frustrated and subsequently demotivated during the initial stages of practice.

You must get feedback on your progress. For instance, perhaps you are trying to learn Chinese. You should find a way to get fast feedback on your progress, so you’ll know if you’ve put a step wrong. After receiving this feedback, you can choose to approach your skill acquisition differently.  If you can, you should hire a coach to help guide you and give you feedback through the process. If you’re learning a new language, you can use a voice recorder to listen to yourself speaking. This will make it easier to hear mistakes in your own pronunciation or grammar.

Give Yourself Feedback

"The trouble comes when we confuse learning with skill acquisition. If you want to acquire a new skill, you must practice it in context. Learning enhances practice, but it doesn’t replace it. If performance matters, learning alone is never enough."

When learning a skill, there will always be barriers that interfere with your learning process. Therefore, consider any emotional roadblocks that may stand in your path, like fear or self-doubt, as well as distractions (like a ringing phone). After completing this process, try to eliminate any hindrances.

Limit Distractions

There are probably many skills you’d like to acquire. Still, an essential first step of rapid skill acquisition is choosing to focus on one. Start by making a list of all the skills you’re interested in, and pick the one most exciting to you right now. This excitement will help you stay motivated through your practice.

Learn Your Chosen Skill By Focusing Your Energy

The First 20 Hours is a book about rapid skill acquisition: how to pick up new skills as fast as humanly possible.

Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of prac­ticing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct com­plex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By complet­ing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the meth­ods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard key­board, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the sim­ple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Fig­ure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcompo­nents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accu­rate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chain­saws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

Josh Kaufman

The First 20 Hours

Information gaps make people feel uncomfortable while filling them is satisfying. If you possess information that can fill existing gaps in people’s knowledge, remind them of those gaps. Consider online clickbait such as “The ten celebrities you never knew were enthusiastic gardeners” or “The three politicians you never knew got a nose job.” Those create gaps of knowledge in people’s mind that were not there to begin with.

Filling Information Gaps

It states that we approach those people, items, and events we believe can do us good and avoid those that can do us harm. In other words, we move toward pleasure and away from pain.

The Law Of Approach And Avoidance

This is our ability to think about what other people are thinking. We think constantly about what the other person is thinking and adjust our behavior accordingly. While the tendency to engage in theory of mind is useful—it helps us relate to one another and predict what people will do next—the human mind is not a perfect inference machine, and inevitably we will, at times, reach the wrong conclusions.

Theory of Mind 

An attempt to change someone’s mind will be successful if it aligns with the core elements that govern how we think:<ol><li>Prior beliefs</li><li>Emotion</li><li>Incentives</li><li>Agency </li><li>Curiosity</li><li>State of mind</li><li>Other people.</li></ol>

How To Change Someone's Mind

In today’s world, the ease by which we can find “data” and “evidence” to discredit any opinion—and, at the same time, uncover new information to support our own—is unprecedented.
Paradoxically then, the wealth of available information makes us more resistant to change, because it is so easy to find data that support our own vision.

Google Is (Always) On Our Side

Emotion equates the physiological state of the listener with that of the speaker, which makes it more likely that the listener will process incoming information in a similar manner to how the speaker sees it. If I feel happy and you feel sad, we are unlikely to interpret the same story in the same way. But if I can first help you feel as happy as I do, perhaps by sharing a joke, you will be more likely to construe my message the way I do.

The Power Of Common Motivations

While we adore data, the problem with an approach that prioritizes information and logic is that it ignores the core of what makes you and me human: our motives, our fears, our hopes and desires. Data has only a limited capacity to alter the strong opinions of others. Established beliefs can be extremely resistant to change, even when scientific evidence is provided to undermine those beliefs.

Evidence Does Not Change Beliefs

<ul>
<li>Most people become stressed and anxious when their ability to control their environment is removed.</li>
<li>Control is tightly related to influence. When you alter someone’s beliefs or actions you are, to some extent, exerting control over that individual. </li>
<li>One way to express control is to make a choice.</li>
</ul>

Our Relationship  With Control

Numbers and statistics are necessary and great for exposing the truth, but they’re not enough to change beliefs, and they are almost useless for motivating action.The huge amount of information we are receiving today can make us even less sensitive to data because we’ve become accustomed to finding support for anything we want to believe, with a simple click of the mouse. Instead, our desires are what shape our beliefs.

We're Not Wired To React Unemotionally To Information

This happens when people are presented with information that contradicts their opinion and they come up with altogether new counterarguments that further strengthen their original view.When you provide someone with new data, they quickly accept evidence that confirms their prior beliefs and assess counterevidence with a critical eye.

The Boomerang Effect

The greater your cognitive capacity, the greater your ability to rationalize and interpret information at will, and to creatively twist data to fit your opinions. People with stronger analytic abilities are more likely to twist data at will than people with low reasoning ability.

Analytical Personalities Tend To Twist Data 

The difficulty in trying to change people’s behavior by warning them of the spread of disease, loss of money, weight gain, or global warming is that these are all uncertain future sticks. It is hard to convince people work for something that may or may not happen. This is why a threat of momentous future harm can sometimes be less effective than a minor reward that is immediate and certain.

Immediate Pleasure Over Future Pain 

Tweeting is one of the most emotionally arousing activities you likely engage in on most days. Studies show that tweeting raises your pulse, makes you sweat, and enlarges your pupils—all indicators of arousal.Relative to just browsing the Web, tweeting and retweeting enhances brain activity indicative of emotional arousal by 75 percent. Simply reading your feed increases your emotional arousal by 65 percent.

Twitter: The “Amygdala Of The Internet

<ul>
<li>The tendency of our brains to produce unconscious biases. From cognitive biases to errors in decision-making and forecasts, the human brain has evolved for greatness but has preserved countless biases.</li>
<li>The human inclination for social learning. If by nature we look to others for information and clues about what is true and, these individuals we consult carry inherent biases, it is inevitable that falsehoods will sometimes increase when individuals come together.</li>
</ul>

Two Phenomena That Can Result In Not-So-Wise Crowds

Because we often experience better outcomes following choice, the association between choice and reward has become so strong in our minds that choice itself has become rewarding.However, sometimes the decision is so complex and taxing that we prefer not to make a decision. For example, if you give people too many options, they become overwhelmed and don’t choose anything.

People Like To Choose

<ul><li>Unconscious mimicry. People constantly mimic other people’s gestures, sounds, and facial expressions. We do this automatically. </li><li>Reacting to emotional stimuli. Because a fearful face often indicates that there is something to be afraid of, we react to it with fear.</li></ul>

How Emotional Transfer Works

A cutting-edge, research-based inquiry into how we influence those around us and how understanding the brain can help us change minds for the better. In The Influential Mind, neuroscientist Tali Sharot takes us on a thrilling exploration of the nature of influence. We all have a duty to affect others—from the classroom to the boardroom to social media. But how skilled are we at this role, and can we become better? It turns out that many of our instincts—from relying on facts and figures to shape opinions, to insisting others are wrong or attempting to exert control—are ineffective, because they are incompatible with how people’s minds operate. Sharot shows us how to avoid these pitfalls, and how an attempt to change beliefs and actions is successful when it is well-matched with the core elements that govern the human brain. Sharot reveals the critical role of emotion in influence, the weakness of data and the power of curiosity. Relying on the latest research in neuroscience, behavioral economics and psychology, the book provides fascinating insight into the complex power of influence, good and bad.

Tali Sharot

The Influential Mind

If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice.

When your mind asks you, "Dude, you remember the day when you said you will not give up on your new year resolutions and you slept for 12 hours the next day? You remember the day when you said you will study the whole night and you dozed off in 30 mins? How in the world do you think you are going to workout every morning? How in the world do you think you are going to run 1 km a day?"You gotcha have an answer to that. You have to shut your mind up. You have to rise above all fears and insecurities, and you have to NOT give up. You have to stay hungry. Hungry for the discomfort and sufferings.

If you can't answer the questions at that moment

A whole other world exists on the other side of suffering.

In ancient times, when people felt doubted about a place in the lonely forest, the mind made them go back to their tribe and be safe and comfortable.Nowadays, when people try to do a new thing that makes them feel uncomfortable, the mind makes them go back to their comfort. Our mind holds a tactical advantage over us.Whenever you will try to do something that is not your habit, your mind will feel insecure. When you think of going to exercise, your mind tells you to leave it. It protects you from any discomfort. It will tell you to quit. If you hear to it, and give up, the future gives you up.

Our mind wants to protect us

You can have more than you've got because you can be more than you are.

A concept of physics-friction- is going to be used here. So when you are not moving, there is a force needed to make you move, to kill off the limiting friction. And when you are moving, there is a force needed to keep you moving, to kill of the kinetic friction.Similarly, the mind's doubt on us is like the friction but we have to have more determination than that, otherwise we simply can't proceed. You can achieve the impossible. It's just about how much force are you willing to fight the mind's friction. Without this force, progress is impossible.

How you grow

In the end, it's not about fame or being accepted by everyone, it's about who you've been with all this time and how it has all helped you. In the end it is about whether you have gained the ability to give back or not.You'll find your purpose and you'll find out one thing, that you are not in a race with billions of people but in a race with yourself.You should be able to say that you are giving you best and you are to the best to your ability.And that, is what makes you unstoppable.

Finding your purpose

If no one kicks you, you gotta kick yourself.

Master Your Mind - David Goggins - Become UNSTOPPABLE

12) Hitting snooze is better than getting up. It is advised to set alarm for the latest time possible as it gives you enough sleep and allows you to work better. Hitting snooze just fragments your sleep and even REM sleep sometimes.
13) You can simply become a morning person. You can't change your chronotype but you can trick your mind believing that it is morning instead of evening or vice-versa. This can be done by the blue light therapy. It makes you believe that you are working in a different time zone.

Myth 12,13

6) Your brain and body will adapt to less sleep. Your performance keeps deteriorating the more you restrict your sleep. How bad you feel is way greater than how bad you think you are feeling. 
7) It doesn't matter what time of the day you sleep. Sleep is timed, it doesn't just happen. If you play with your sleep biology, it will soon play with you. Studies have shown greater probabilities of heart diseases and obesity in the people who don't sleep according to their biology.
8) Exercising within 4 hours of sleep disrupts your sleep. This can be helpful for some people while harmful for some.

Myth 6,7

Sleep is the thing we all need but some believe the contrary. The thing we do for one-third of our lives but many don't do it for even one-sixth of their time. The thing some do in 1 phase and others do in polyphase.
Dr. Rebecca Robbins and Dr. David Rapoport help us clarify our myths and beliefs about sleep.Let's debunk it!

Intro

3) Lying in bed with your eyes closed is almost as good as sleeping. Sleep is not like putting your keys off. It is an active process which includes entering 3-4 stages per hour or so and repeating the cycle 4-5 times a night. If disrupted, you feel not rested.
4) If you can't sleep, you should stay in bed and try to fall back asleep. You should stay in bed but not with the stress of sleeping. Try to relax and still if you can't sleep, get up and stretch out. It may help.
5) Many adults need 5 hours of sleep or less. Scores of data has shown that almost all adults need 7-8 hours of sleep.

Myth 3,4,5

If you get nightmares, cool down your room temperature. Hot bed causes nightmares.

14) You can catch up on sleep during weekends. This is a very common practice but it disrupts your circadian rhythm. Waking up 3 or 4 hours later than your usual time may lead to social jet lag. You may be in NYC but your body is in London.
15) Boredom makes you tired even if you got enough sleep. Boredom unmasks your sleep deprivation. If you have slept enough, boredom can't make you sleep.

Myth 14, 15

9) Remembering your dreams is a sign of a good night's sleep. It doesn't matter, tbh. What matters is how you are feeling the next day in the morning.
10) Eating cheese (or any other food) before bed causes nightmares. There is no particular food that causes nightmares but feeling uncomfortable while sleeping may cause them.
11) Loud snoring is annoying but mostly harmless. Snoring is a sign that something blocks your respiratory tube. LOUD snoring is a sign that that tube may be completely blocked which is also called sleep apnea. It may cause disruptions in sleep.

Myth 9,10,11

1) Watching TV in bed is a good way to relax before sleep. It is recommended to not do this because TV is a source to bright blue light. It kick starts our circadian rhythm making it hard enough to sleep.
2) Drinking booze before bed will improve your sleep. Although, this myth is true to some extent, it disrupts your normal sleep. This means that it may delay your REM sleep or even delete it, creating disruptions for the individual.

Myth 1,2

Two sleep experts debunk 15 of the most common myths about sleep. They explain that boredom, alone, doesn’t make you tired and that you should get out of bed if you can’t fall asleep. They also debunk the idea that loud snoring is nothing more than annoying. In fact, it’s often a sign of a serious sleep disorder that can seriously compromise your sleep.
