Here’s my board that I keep track of practice, with each cell being an hour. The rule I have is that the minimum time to practice is seven and a half minutes, which is 1/8 of a cell. Also, if I forget to notate a session it doesn’t count; this keeps me honest and prevents noodling/fuckarounditis.

If you see the mirror behind me, those are short-term goals that mirror some of the cells. This can help you chunk your time and get wholistic benefits as a distraction.

You can also double up skills and count them. For example, if I learn a Jacques Brel tune, that’s both REPERTOIRE and FRENCH. I do the same with PROGRAMMING macros and ABLETON, where an hour session of programming macros for Ableton counts. I try to bring this ethos to everything for efficiency and to multiply my talents.


Another note, once you do 20 hours, that finishes your beginner phase. Then do another 20 hours for intermediate (which could be 160 7.5 minute sessions), and voila, you’re on your way.

I’m 40 and I disregard brain elasticity. Once you learn how to do one thing, learning is just doubling the rate of failure until you attain mastery - even if the most simple shit.

Last—and perhaps most importantly—you need to use these skills publicly. I usually post shit in other forums and get reamed over it, but the positive feedback is what you’re after. If you can get into undeniable territory, then you create a positive feedback loop.

Read Scott Adams’ “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big”. Reading it confirmed most of my approaches. You can extrapolate this to approaching women, too.
