Can You Learn A New Skill In 20 Hours?

I saw a TED Talk years ago where a guy talked about how he learned how to play the guitar in 20 hours. And that TED Talk changed my life not because I learned to play the guitar, but all of a sudden complex tasks or seemingly complex tasks felt much more attainable.

0:00I saw a TED Talk years ago where a guy talked about how he learned how to play the guitar in 20 hours. And that TED Talk changed my life not because I learned to play the guitar, but all of a sudden complex tasks or seemingly complex tasks felt much more attainable. I was like, "Okay, I might not be the best website developer in the world, but in 20 hours I can have a website." And that 20-hour mantra for me is just been like two days. Two full days. Two 10-hour days fully focused. You can pretty much go from zero to not hero, but zero to competent.

0:28And when you string hundreds of those 20-hour days together, I think you become incredibly dangerous. And you will get the largest returns from those first 20 hours. And because the the 80/20 of your of the skills you gain that are that have utility. Like that your usefulness across a huge amount of domains is multiplicative not additive.
