How To Learn Anything

To learn a new skill quickly, one must break the skill down into its smallest sub-skills, learn each sub-skill well enough to practice and improve, remove any barriers preventing practice, and dedicate at least 20 hours to practicing the most important sub-skill. New skills are acquired in three stages - first understanding the skill, then practicing with feedback to improve, and finally mastering the skill so it can be performed without conscious thought. Ten principles for rapid skill acquisition include choosing an engaging project, focusing on one skill at a time, setting a target level, removing practice barriers, and practicing in short bursts with feedback to improve speed and proficiency.
