Therefore, people of every age and experience level should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-your-skills\/\">deliberately practice<\/a>. Even if you don\u2019t have time to become <em>excellent, <\/em>you can become <em>better.<\/em> So if you&#8217;re asking yourself, &#8220;How long does it take to become good at something?&#8221;,  the answer depends on whether you&#8217;re looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/become-an-expert\/\">become an expert<\/a> or simply looking to get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/mastery-leonard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mastery<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>George Leonard adds the caveat that, while your skills may start improving immediately with focused practice, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/mastery-leonard#embrace-the-plateaus-reject-easy-shortcuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improvement will be incremental and may not be noticeable<\/a>. This can discourage people and make them quit. He suggests overcoming this discouragement by viewing practice as a lifestyle rather than a means to an end. Instead of progress being a step toward excellence, Leonard holds progress as the main goal. This more achievable goal could make sustained practice more appealing to people who are older or less experienced, who may struggle to make the time commitment needed to achieve excellence.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want to achieve world-class excellence, however, deliberate practice requires a massive time commitment<\/strong>. On average, it takes 10 <em>years <\/em>of continual deliberate practice for a person to improve their understanding and skill enough to perform excellently. The inability or unwillingness to make this commitment is one of the reasons so few people achieve excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes this long because <strong>even experts can only deliberately practice for four to five hours a day. <\/strong>Beginners can usually only manage an hour. You can\u2019t increase your understanding and skills any faster because continually evaluating your performance is mentally taxing. After a few hours, you can\u2019t maintain the focus needed to improve, so any further practice is ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Ericsson observed people\u2019s limited ability to focus in his studies on deliberate practice\u2014though he defined the limit <a href=\"https:\/\/graphics8.nytimes.com\/images\/blogs\/freakonomics\/pdf\/DeliberatePractice(PsychologicalReview).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as two to four hours<\/a>. Specifically, he says that deliberate practice becomes less effective after two hours, and there\u2019s almost no benefit to practicing more than four hours. While you may not be able to <em>exceed <\/em>this limit, strive to <em>meet <\/em>it, so you\u2019re taking full advantage of your focus instead of being limited to an hour. One way to extend your focus is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/deep-work\/part-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follow a set schedule<\/a>, Cal Newport says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/deep-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Deep Work<\/em><\/a>. Once the schedule becomes habitual, you\u2019ll focus automatically and won\u2019t need to use as much willpower to overcome distraction.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even individuals who <em>appear <\/em>to have meteoric success follow this pattern. Mozart is an example: He composed his first excellent piece of music at a very young age compared to his peers. This makes people assume that he had an inherent talent that let him skip the practice his peers needed. However, Mozart started practicing composition when he was a toddler. It was almost <em>20 years <\/em>of practice later that his performance was noticed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How long does it take to become good at something?
