Josh Kaufman is author of The Personal MBA, among other books.
Here's the quick summary of the video as posted by QuickTalks (from the video comments). I can't say it any better:
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill.
- 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)
- Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes.
- 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.
- 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.
