Summary by QuickSkill (video comment)
Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill. But you have to practice efficiently and intelligently.
1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary). Practice the most important things first,
2. Learn enough to self correct/ self edit - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes. Get 3 to 5 resources about the skill you are trying to learn, but do not use the “gathering” of these resources to procrastinate. Don’t procrastinate by getting 20 books for one subject...
* Get better at noticing when you are making a mistake and then self correct.
3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.
