HBR: 10,000 HOURS

Alright. We've got some work to do and clearly commitment is a key.

This is the first installment (of hopefully many) concepts, ideas, thought provokers, etc.

I realize we're all busy and have lots on our plates.

Take a minute to check these out. Even if you just read the first and last paragraphs.

This isn't any gospel, there's no right or wrong, but

EXPAND YOU MIND

Below is an excerpt from a Harvard Business Review article titled A Fast Track to 10,000 Hours of Practice

Have you completed your 10,000 hours of deliberate practice?

The idea that 10,000 hours (about 1 year and 51 days total) of practice is what you need to gain expertise in performance-based fields was initially popularized in Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Outliers. The research results he focused on emphasized the benefits of practice for fine-motor activities like playing the piano. But more recent studies show the upside of the 10,000-hour benchmark for collaborative knowledge work — the type of expertise required to create, or lead, or grow a company.


Apply it to bikes, apply it to work, cooking, communicating, whatever you are working on.

All of it is a process, just stick with it.
