They say it takes 1000 hours to achieve a mastery of any subject or skill. If you had a 1000 hours, what would you devote them to, to become a 'master'?

I thought it was 15,000 hrs to become an expert in a particular field or activity... but whatever...

I think I've worked out social media - didn't do this a year ago.

:o

It obviously doesn't take 1000 hrs to learn a new skill

I would like to learn how to play a piano and a saxophone properly though

You'll find it's actually 10,000 hours to supposed mastery.

To bring that into focus, there aren't 10,000 hours in a YEAR...I remember doing the maths once, it was something like 3 hours practice a day, EVERY day for 10 years.

Would have loved to carry on with flying lessons, but at £145 an hour, I just can't keep it up any longer.

Had 37 hours up to date, passed 3 exams!

Whittling. It looks a satisfying sort of passtime.

"I think you may have misread something. "

Or just mistyped, it's meant to be 10,000 hours.

10000-15000 hours depending on who you read.

But it's more than the time. It's how that time is spent.

I've been playing guitar for over 30yrs (almost daily) and I would never refer to myself as a master. There is ALWAYS something new to learn.

The book on this is called Outliers. Both that and Tipping Point are great reads.

If it is 1,000 hours or more can I spend it with a bevy of lovely ladies ? I might even get a Doctorate in Sexual relations.

Neurology and genetics, i am focusing on one of these right now.

What if you're a fast learner or fast at doing your work? I ended up doing 2 courses at once coz everyone else took all day to complete the work and i was sat bored all afternoon doing nothing coz i'd finished...asked to go home coz i was bored and they made me do more stuff instead.

It was the most boring learning experience of my life.

That's only 125 working days.

That's not even remotely close to "expert or master for most crafts that's simply proficient.

If this 1000 hour figure were true anyone who did say woodwork in school would be a master carpenter

How long did it take you to master the biochemistry needed to have a proper understanding of those two?

Works out it it's your job with an 8 hour day just under 5 years

Seems about right not for "master" (as I'd say that for that title you need a certain level of personal talent for the field) but certainly enough to be well respected in your field.

No biochemistry they're distinctly different fields.

But impressive it normally it takes a peron around 3 years with tuition

I find biology pretty easy, especially if i learn about plants first. Genetics am struggling a bit, and the immune system i find i often struggle to get it. I've had good teachers luckily so getting there.

I disagree.

It depends on how you learn what you learn and how inclined to learn it you are.

I've got 1000 hours for things of interest to me, and 1000 hours for people who are interested in something I'm not
