@dredurr Thanks - very glad to hear that! I'd love to hear what you've been learning. The 20 hour precommitment appears to be universal - if you invest 20 hours in *anything*, you'll be a *lot* better than when you started, regardless of field. Most of the people who try something new quit out of frustration within the first 4-5 hours, but a tiny bit of persistence at the beginning pays huge dividends. The method tries to make getting to the 20 hour mark as easy as possible. There's nothing magical about the 20 hour mark, by the way - it's primarily behavioral psychology. 20 hours of investment is enough to see huge results, but it's not enough to feel overwhelming, which can be a significant barrier to getting started and sticking with it. The 20 hours precommitment makes it much more likely you'll sit down and invest your time in a smart way. ~40 minutes every day for a month is very doable if you're serious about learning something, and it forces all of the right difficult decisions (like what to *stop* doing and what you're *not* going to focus on learning) at the beginning of the process, which is extremely helpful.
