Ah ok. I had read his post as being a total of 12 hours (5+2+5). 4+2+4 seems more manageable.

- gtsteve 7y agoActually it was 5+2+5. If I find something sufficiently interesting I don't have a problem with focusing on it. Learning the maths was definitely the hardest and perhaps on those days I didn't perfectly stick to the schedule but when it involved implementing that into a solution, so long as I can see the solution beginning to come together I can stay motivated long enough to work on it. Perhaps I do have a "monk brain" as you've put it but I certainly wasn't born that way, I actually have very little in the way of formal qualifications and barely made my way through school. I believe I was able to achieve this when I started working and began seeing results as my skills improved. My life is a bit more complicated now and I couldn't imagine doing something similar today. The best I can do is a few hours over the weekend trying something new. I'm glad I took the opportunity when I did.
