If you find 20 minutes to spare, watch this video:

| Josh Kaufman |
Not only does Josh Kaufman show in this video that it only takes us 20
hours to learn something new, but it also shows how research results can
be misinterpreted: how we went from needing 10,000 hours to become a
world-class expert in a highly competitive field, to the idea that it
takes 10,000 hours to learn something.
So, do you need to learn a new coding language for your PhD, or learn a
new hobby? Set aside 20 hours for deliberate practice (using the hacks
that Josh Kaufman shows in his video), and you'll be well on your way to
learn something new.
