17 Minutes

The theory of 10,000 states that it takes 10,000 hours of purposeful practice to become an expert in any given field.  Research has shown that this takes most dedicated people about 10 years and can seem daunting and unattainable to most.

But I recently read about another rule that was “discovered” during this same research called the 100 hour rule.  This rule states that if you dedicate 100 hours over the course of a year to any discipline, after that year, you will be more proficient than 95% of the rest of the worlds population in this discipline. That’s only 17 minutes a day over the course of a year to be in the top 5% IN THE WORLD.

I just found this interesting.  And very familiar.
