10,000 Hour Rule

What Is the 10,000 Hour Rule? In Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers’, Malcolm says it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill. So how long have you been practicing your craft?

Side note. I decided to post this because I have been bumping Macklemore’s “THE HEIST” song 10,000 Hours. Great album, and great song.

Thanks for sharing Mark. I hadn’t seen this Gladwell interview. I would even add that its 10,000 hours of DELIBERATE PRACTICE. The quality of those 10,000 hours is probably the most important aspect of it all.

Refining your skill sets, pushing your boundaries, actively educating yourself bout your craft. Thanks for sharing.

If you average 2hrs every day, it will take 14 years to get to 10 000! Dayum
