Would you like to learn how to speak a new language fast?
How about learning to code or write sales copy?
@perhapz you were promoted and want to improve your leadership skills faster?
Mastering a new skill can take up to 10,000 hours.
That's more than one person can possibly achieve in four years, let alone one, no matter how focused or productive.
If you don't have 10,000 hours, aspiring ultralearners should reframe what mastery of a skill looks like.
Almost anyone can learn how to "have conversations" and "travel effortlessly" in five or even ten languages.
However, becoming proficient enough to write a PhD dissertation in another language requires living in a country for a decade or more.
If mastery [means] something less ambitious...that you are competent with a skillset, then it's totally possible for people to learn dozens or more skills .
Usually, you're not [trying] to learn copywriting in a vacuum. It's for some purpose.
Start with: ‘"Where do you actually want to use this skill?"
Aspiring ultralearners can find people to interview at work, conferences, via social media and in online forums.
Interviewing an expert should also help you chart the progression of your learning from novice to competent.
Ultimately, learning is a lifelong pursuit, and deciding what skills you want to acquire is a question worth asking at every stage of your career.
