Summary 1) Decide what you want 2) Deconstruct the skill 3) Research the skill just enough to do the deconstruct 4) Make it easy to do what you want to do 5) Pre-commit to practice the skill

[@OldManPaxusYT]

THANK YOU! I'm SOOOO sick of watching information vids where people prattle ON and on and on instead of getting to the point(s)!

short notes: Learn anything in 20 Hours -------------------------------------------------------- Precommitting the time to make sure that you practice enough to see the results that you want# Best time to do it is before you sleep: sleeping helps commit what you learnt Steps 1. Decide what you want- {Target Performance level} Be clear on what the end goal is. 2. Deconstruct the skill - what are the steps - fundamentals 3. Research the skill just enough to get the sub-skills, then practice the most important ones first: do not let learning become a barrier 4. Eliminate barriers of practice : Block out time and dedicate time. 5. Precommit to practising for atleast 20 Hours

[@Smilez5646]

Michael Michuki omg dude thank u so much for this, i dnt have to listen so intently to get my own notes lol

[@MichaelMichuki]

World .Amazement karibu sana my friend, i knew that you would need it and that it would save you some time :) be blessed

[@officialcandymane4832]

+Michael Michuki (Vermon) you pretty much did his job in less than 1 minute

[@MichaelMichuki]

Official Candymane lol yea i figured it would save people 19minutes

[@gilsukim]

Below is my note; hope they can be useful for anyone including me. :) personal lesson: 1. get into practice and get out of research mode 2. learn things just before I go to bed 3. put things to learn in a visible area 5 steps to get good at anything in 20 hours "1. decide what you want (your target performance level) 2. deconstruct the scale separated into smaller sub skills; practice the most important ones first 3. research the skill just enough to do the deconstruction and choose the most important sub skills but not so much that it becomes a barrier to practice in itself 4. eliminate barriers for practice; make it easy to do what you want to do 5. pre-commit to practicing what it is that you want to be able to do for at least 20 hours"

[@fromnowhere8131]

the problem is from first time i get sclearningared that i cant do it and then i demotivated and felt exhausted,then i left learning

[@malcolmbryant]

The 5 Steps in summary: Step 1: Decide what you want to learn; your Target Performance Level. Step 2: Deconstruct the skill; break it down into sub-skills. Step 3: Research the skill -- just enough to do the deconstructing. Step 4: Eliminate barriers to practice. Step 5: Pre-commit to practising for 20 hours. This is the order in which Mr Kaufman recaps the stages, but 2 and 3 are probably an iterative process.

[@malcolmbryant]

You're welcome mate.

[@TECHGUY2K8]

one punch man irl

[@juanjovalino]

Saitama!

[@aspektx]

Guy at a factory I worked at had a typical mindless job loading a machine. He always wanted to make wooden bowls with a lathe. So he read about that skill and said he just pictured over and over again how he would do it himself. After 20 years he retired, bought a professional lathe and within 2-3 wooden bowls he was turning out incredible pieces. While all human brains have a core set of common functions and abilities, not all human brains use these functions in the same manner. Some folks just learn differently than others. For instance I have used the skimming method for the exact same purpose the author refers to, but is that for everyone? Not slightly.

[@IanHollis]

Too long; didn't watch: (20:35) 1. Decide what you want (What's your target performance level) 2. Deconstruct the skill (Separate it into smaller sub-skills and practise the most important ones first) 3. Research the skill just enough to do the deconstruction and choose the most important sub-skills (but not so much that it becomes a barrier to practise) 4. Eliminate barriers to practise (make it easy to do what you want to do). 5. Pre-commit to practising whatever it is that you want to be able to do for at least 20 hours

[@henrygagejr.-founderbuildg9199]

[@Macatho]

I just got my license to practice medicine, in only 20 hours of work. Thanks to this video! Tomorrow I'll learn how to be a concert pianist.

[@LebannersHook]

+Maximilian Wicén You sir are daft!

[@Macatho]

Heriberto Juarez This guy is just a less successful version of Tim Ferris. Why don't people believe it's just a scam?

[@WilliamTheDestroyer.]

+Maximilian Wicén, the reason you are an idot, is because you were born.

[@Macatho]

William Shaw Well I guess we're all idiots compared to someone else. I have 132 IQ on the stanford-binet scale, which puts me in the 98th percentile. The question still remains, why are you such a douchebag?

[@Macatho]

William Shaw I only need to see what you subscribe to on youtube to know that this isn't worth my time, thread muted - bye.

[@WILD__THINGS]

He brings up a good point about practicing right around your bedtime. While learning Italian, I have found certain words or sentences difficult to remember or say correctly but when I practice just before going to sleep, I have found that I often wake up and realize not only that I now remember the word or sentence but I can pronounce it much better.

[@bluetempo2402]

sakecity7 Its because during sleep is when we finalize committing what we have learned through out the day to long term memory.

[@WILD__THINGS]

J. Mosaic One I see

[@MrCosmo314]

sakecity7 Bull. I tried that with Spanish and guitar for 2 years solid. Didn't retain hardly anything

[@MrCosmo314]

MrCosmo314 But I know that if I practiced 1 hour a day for 27 years, I would be where I want to be....10,000 hours approx.

[@WILD__THINGS]

MrCosmo314 Then you just have a learning problem

[@kelpforest8339]

Thank you One Punch Man, will definitely try this!

[@richardedwards110]

100 push ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and a 10 mile run, EVERYDAY (no a/c and no breaks!) for 3 years... :)

[@cassiuslives4807]

you win

[@TheAngryCanary]

Wow. This information is dead on . I totally agree. All education should be goal oriented. The subconscious just doesn't let you focus on information it does not perceive as valuable.

[@rollinstormz]

100 push ups,100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10 kilometer run every single day.

[@ilanzatonski8826]

rollinstormz good job saitama, u are now anorexic and lost all your muscle mass. You are practically eugina cooney

[@i64stupid]

rollinstormz i do 400 pushups 500 situps and 8 miles a day (2 miles more than a 10k) this is only good for runners, if u are looking to get muscle mass stay away from this

[@GovernorKuder]

i64stupid lol...he is quoting an anime show called "One punch man". the speaker in this video looks exactly like him.

[@darkwolf0465]

GovernorKuder sounds like him too if saitama had more emotion

[@Lonestar512]

And that is Nothing like "Learn Anything in 20 hours!" Doing all those sit-ups and running all those miles ONE TIME will do absolutely NOTHING for anyone!!! Do people actually fall for this shit?!? Hey, I have a great new method to Master literally ANYTHING easily in just 4 hours!!! Simply do all the steps necessary for 4 hours.....then repeat that Everyday over and over for months or years until you get it!! Now.... Please Pay me for this revolutionary advice!!!!

[@oliverwarren1074]

Just watch the video and ignore the summaries below. It's actually super interesting how he explains it, he is a very good speaker. If you can't spare 20 minutes to watch a video you probably won't spare any time to learn any skills.

[@VegetoStevieD]

The first part is where the clickbait title of the video gets real. Basically, change your goal into something that can be done in 20 hours. "I want to learn Mandarin Chinese". vs "I want to go to a restaurant and order something in Mandarin Chinese" In other words, set your goals lower, then you can do it. Similarly- "I want to make 2,000$ dollars per hour." vs "I want to make 20$ dollars per hour." Wow, now I can do it! Thanks egg-man! -_-

[@somekindofnice3871]

there's one thing you can't get good at in 20 hours. and that's staying awake for 24.

[@NOCDIB]

This is probably the most worthwhile video I've ever seen on KZbin. I basically learned steps 1-3 on my own with a lot of trial, error and wasted time. I wish I saw this and put it into practice six years ago.

[@javabean1440]

1. Know what you want. -In other words, know your target performance level. 2. Deconstruct the skill. -Separate it into smaller sub-skills, but practice the most important ones first. 3. Research the skill just enough to do the deconstruction and choose the most important sub-skills, but not so much that it becomes a barrier to practice. 4. Eliminate all barriers to practice. -Make it easy to do what you want to do. 5. Precommit to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours.

And ofcours writing this silly arabic thing, and honestly Arabic is my native language And I didn't even understand the meaning of it. (Infact me writing this is a waste of my precious time cuz you won't even care. Sadly it seems I'am bored enough so I'll do it anyways).

[@springspring3341]

the presenters are sophisticated, knowledgeable, informative, clear, concise and precise and I want to thank them for their time.

[@doreenlangford7202]

I love it when Josh said learning something is not intellectual. I'm a dyslexia and some times learning a new thing can be overwhelming. He's given the strategy about how to learn any thing. Thanks Josh

[@OlivierRoland]

Je suis toujours heureux de découvrir des méthodologies similaires ! La déconstruction de l’aptitude est un principe et une étape importante pour attendre nos objectives. Une aptitude, une compétence est simplement une association de plusieurs sous compétences. J’aime beaucoup ce point abordé!

[@Bob-zx7io]

Sweet. I just learned neurosurgery over the weekend. Wooooo.

[@hizokachile]

This is so groundbreaking. Who would know that to learn a little bit about something (just some part of something), kind of OK doesn't take very long? And that practicing organizedly is good for achieving that... I cant believe this guy is lecturing people about the most obvious thing ever. Lower your expectations A LOT about what you want to learn, practice it, there you go, you know a small part about something kind of okayish. Really genius stuff.

[@GioGiontaOnline]

You hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much for the useful info and content. People have to master their skills set

[@ryangross6886]

[@AdamMusialBright]

Great introduction to accelerated learning! I love how specific you define the goals. Also, making goals small enough you remove the fear of failure. This is by the way very close to "The Kaizen Way" of step by step improvement. Again, great interview

[@sandreas1762]

yeah, that's step one actually

[@yuukimurai15]

This reminds me of the TED talks I watched a few days ago that talked about "Multipotentialites" how one actually can be great at several different crafts. Great video and definitely refreshing!

[@melloroom7510]

This is the best and most useful guide to self teaching I've come across on youtube, I never thought of learning as scoring mini sub category achievements, I might get thus book.

[@s.r.howell1297]

Very inspiring, thanks.

[@giulhanch3891]

Forget that the world moves faster, the world doesn't care about you. Learn day by day but dedicate to a topic your heart always wanted to dominate as an achievement in life.

[@toddallen7862]

So right... So many people claim to have some sort of secret, but really are confusing "the secrets" with something that is so difficult, that only a few can do it. If we followed the human spirit, and like you said the heart, the many would understand what the few can accomplish. I think it was Arthur C. Clarke that said " Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I would also interchange the word skill for technology. And maybe If we do that, the world will care about you. We all care about each other. We just don't understand the how or why yet.

[@giulhanch3891]

No no, just no. I meant the world doesn't care about you. THE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER HAND

[@toddallen7862]

We must start by getting on the same page about what you mean by "World". From my point of view, we live in a symbiotic and fractal universe. The fact that evolution progresses forward is proof that the world, as well as everything in the universe, must care/favor you in order to allow your existence. We discount any object we consider inanimate, yet we have yet to successfully quantify our own consciousness. If we can't prove the existence of consciousness or the concept of selfhood, how can we assume to know whether or not the "world" cares or doesn't care?

[@junkevin]

Giul Hanch don't care about you..

[@angelacai7301]

Love this video, thanks for sharing!

[@ndazbe]

The first 2 points are the keys to this one. Having a clear definition of what you want to achieve is paramount. I really liked point 2 about breaking down that skill into key areas. I'm going to put that into practice!

[@dothedeed]

Speaking about acceleration - how about making a 5 minute video instead of a 25 minute long video?

[@JohnMarkIsaacMadison]

5 minutes in and we are still on an intro. But his shiny head makes him seem so credible I am hanging on to see if I learn anything useful.

[@Olivia-sk5ws]

For those who don't have the time to watch a 20 min video. Here are the 5 steps to learning a skill quicker. 1. decide what you want 2. deconstruct into sub skills and practice the most important ones first. 3. research the skill just enough to do the deconstruction to choose the most important sub skill. but not so much where there is a barrier. 4. make it easy for you to practice the skills 5. precommit to practicing for at least 20 hours

[@mocurio]

Thank you very much for sharing this video. I've needed this kind of motivation to do something forever. I easily get overwhelmed when I have to do a project/assignment that contains skills I don't readily have. Thank you for letting Josh Kaufman inspire me and give me hope that I can learn new skills in shorter times than I believe.

I stumbled on consolidation as a kid when I played guitar. If I was learning a riff that was challenging when I would play at night I would just try to get it down the best I can then when I would wake up I would pick my guitar up first thing in the morning and play the riff perfectly almost every time. Very cool to hear it as a part of his method

[@jhonjohnjonjondoe5011]

I do poker for a living and i do all of these things to improve my game it is great. I learned this through 14 years of being a pro and the way i figured this out is through trial and error but used my logical thought process to figure out how to be more efficient. This is a huge reason why i do poker home work at night before i go to sleep, although it makes sleeping harder because i get excited about what i learned and makes me think about new ideas. good video

more i see the motivational video or read a book , i actually get enlightened with my own experience of applying the stuff which saw or read it a while before....for example, in and out all our the internet to search how to make a website.... which i never done before...just 3 days coming up with an amazing website(buying domain , hosting setting up dns and all) made me proud of myself. i actually surprised myself after few day that i did that all thing on my own.

I don't say every second because I'm not Sherlock. And yes, this video does feel like the summary at the end pretty much sums it up. Also, even if you knew these things in one form or other, reinforcement helps somewhat. That said, I TL;DRed with video as well xD

[@ndjubilant8391]

I am C level Advanced French. After a decade of not using French, I had to ask myself how specifically was I going to improve my French. I agree with the gentleman, I had to become very specific. I wanted to practice French in door to door pitches for causes I truly believed in. Knowing this and working only on that vocabulary and specific jargon and narrowing down the most similarly-minded people, both French-speaking and advanced learners was the most precise way.

[@pratikmahamuni4856]

This video is awesome and has just changed my life in a tremendous way!

[@ericwild3908]

Excellent advice! I always get caught up in the research rather than my goal.

Before you watch the whole video, get the 5 main points by going to 20:34. Thank me later. And I think it is not bullshit at all. Nobody said you would get brilliant within 20 hours. You get good at it within this time. For the long run, you probably need the 10'000 hours. But why trying to get brilliant when first off you have to get good at it anyways?

[@BenjaminEllenberger]

Yes I did.

Very good video. Fields is obviously a master at his craft, but the interviewer asks great questions and really knows how to guide an interview.

[@DrRussell]

Thank-you for these insights! These steps will help all of us. Thank-you for your hard work.

This should be more accurately called 'How to learn to do part of a skill set in 20 hours... to begin with (with additonal time for research)'

[@HiFisch94]

But with that name you can't sell it as easily to the 'results without effort people'.

[@JustAddWat3r]

I can't stop staring at his eye brows

[@ronwhaley7410]
