Becoming an expert at anything

[dhukka]

Becoming an expert at anything. How?

A. Take one hour a day to devote to the topic that you want to become an expert in. That adds up to 365 hours in a year. That number of hours is equivalent to taking about ten college classes.

B. Use that hour to study the topic. It could be to learn a new skill, learn a foreign language, or develop a hobby interest. Keep this up for 3 to 5 years.

C. Make full use of the public library in reaching your goal. Read any books and magazines available there on the topic. Find out other titles that will help develop your expert knowledge. Ask the library to interlibrary loan these for you. That service is usually free, but may take a week or two.

D. Take classes if you want structured learning on the topic. Besides any classes available locally, look on the internet for online classes.

E. Sign up for online newsletters on the topic.

F. Find other people involved in the skill, interest or hobby that you're trying to develop expertise in. Spend time with them individually or in a group. Learn everything you can from their experience. Yahoo Groups has groups for almost any topic you could wish for.

Well, we all know what your an expert at jalicia. Although I bet it didn't take 1 hour a day for you to learn how to copy and paste, or maybe it did? For the life of me though I can't track down where you copy and pasted this from, don't tell you typed it out from Woman's Day?

Through 10,000 hours of “deliberate practice,” Dan, who currently has minimal golf experience, plans on becoming a professional golfer.

Not exactly about deliberative practise but still a nice vid,


Especially for someone who only made it to O week at Uni.

Nice vid TH. For some reason it reminded me of the really old Stackhat commercials from the 80's. Might have been the music!

Amazing. I want to do that!

Jar Jar binks I liked you in star wars but you're letting me down on ASF thus far. That talk was nothing more than Josh Kaufman repackaging mediocre, common place knowledge in an attempt to get more publicity and book sales.

I guess motivation is the key
