It’s not 10.000 hours, it’s 10.000 iterations. -Naval Ravikant
Doing something a thousand times without receiving feedback or analyzing your actions can be a trap.
You have to improve your each iteration for efficiency, automation, reducing mental load.
According to Hebb’s Law and Long Term Potentiation, when we do an activity multiple times it gets easier every time in some extent. The act of repetition make an action more efficient because our neurons fire together making that act of implementation familiar causing long-lasting increase in synaptic strength.
Repetition of an action, if done incorrectly or inefficiently, becomes ingrained in your behavior and routine. Negative behaviors that persist without consequences are destined to recur until you disrupt the pattern and break the cycle.
Failing in business multiple times but improving every next iteration is much better than failing without any kind of feedback and iteration improvement.
Do iterations, not rote repetitions. No need for 10.000 hours if mastery might be achieved in 1000 iterations.
