2000 / 20/WK = 100 weeks, or approx 2 years of part time hobby work. That's not too bad. Where does the 2000 hour number come from BTW? I haven't seen it befor

Where does the 2000 hour number come from BTW? I haven't seen it before.
- james_s_tayler 8y agoYeah, roughly 2 ~ 4 years. Call it 3. That's how I tend to think about skill acquisition. Just personal experience of getting good at things over the years. It's a rough model and I'm happy for people to disagree if they want but the numbers aren't hard and fast they're more of a ballpark hueristic. It's sort of a 4-tier order-of-magnitude pattern I suppose. X0 hours (low hanging fruit) X00 hours (pain period) X000 hours (personal mastery) X0,000 hours (world-class mastery)
