So that's really good for repetitive tasks, like maybe a golf swing or memorizing lists of numbers or very repetitive, to some extent, music, musical performance. Not that you perform the same way every time, but if you're playing the piano, You play the same notes for the Moonlight Sonata every single time. You don't change. So that's the 10,000 hour rule.
Sure. 10,000-hour rule is this idea. It originally comes from this guy, Anders Ericsson, who was a professor who did all the research for it. And basically, he says, with 10,000 hours of what he calls deliberate practice, you could be among the best in the world at anything. And he describes how the Beatles had their 10,000 hours, and he describes various experiments.

But I much prefer what I call the 10,000 experiments rule, but it's really more like 100 or 200 experiments. And the whole point is, is that you should try to think of ways almost every day to experiment in your life. Uh, you know, I mentioned one, which was the, uh, you know, running for president. I can, anyone, the, the, the question was, can anyone run for president? The theory was yes.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote about this afterwards. And Anders Ericsson wrote a book called Peak that I highly recommend. But My view is that he's just, so deliberate practice means do something and then study it. Like what did you do wrong? And then repeat. Do, study, repeat. Do, study, repeat. And you just do that for 10,000 hours.

So that's really good for repetitive tasks, like maybe a golf swing or memorizing lists of numbers or very repetitive, to some extent, music, musical performance. Not that you perform the same way every time, but if you're playing the piano, You play the same notes for the Moonlight Sonata every single time. You don't change. So that's the 10,000 hour rule.
