Deep dives

Understanding the 10,000 Hour Rule

Mastering any skill typically requires around 10,000 hours of dedicated practice, a concept famously highlighted by Malcolm Gladwell. This effort equates to about five years of consistent work at 40 hours per week, or ten years at 20 hours per week. For instance, if someone invests this amount of time in learning to invest, they can potentially place themselves among the top echelon of investors, significantly enhancing their expertise in the area. However, not everyone is willing to commit to such an extensive timeframe, leading many to seek alternative paths to proficiency.
