Learn a Skill in 20 Hours

Master a New Skill in Just 20 Hours with Our Notion Template

Based on Josh Kaufman's '20-Hour Rule,' we have created a Notion template.

By breaking down a skill into multiple sub-skills and continuously learning these sub-skills, you can achieve mastery in a skill within 20 hours by allocating 40 minutes each day for a month.

This method is not about achieving expert-level proficiency in 20 hours but rather about reaching a level of competence that allows you to perform the skill effectively. It's a practical approach for those who want to learn a new skill quickly and efficiently.

If you also want to learn a skill quickly, grab the template and give it a try!

The key principles of the 20-hour skill learning method are:

1. Deconstruction: Break the skill down into smaller sub-skills or components. This helps you focus on specific areas and make the learning process more manageable.
2. Learning in Chunks: Allocate focused practice time for each sub-skill. This practice is aimed at learning enough to be functional, not necessarily achieving mastery.
3. Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is crucial. Devote at least 20 hours of focused practice over a short period, ideally within a few weeks.
4. Feedback and Correction: Pay attention to feedback and identify areas that need improvement. Adjust your approach and practice methods based on feedback.
5. Deliberate Practice: Engage in focused, mindful, and targeted practice. Challenge yourself during practice sessions to push your boundaries and make rapid progress.
6. Mistakes Are Part of Learning: Accept that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. They indicate areas where you need further improvement.
