Introduction to Self-Education

Welcome to the online course "Best Self-Education Techniques." Many of us face the challenge of constantly putting off starting new activities, often due to a perceived lack of time. This could be a desire to learn a new language, such as Spanish or Chinese, master musical instruments like the violin, learn to play chess, change career paths, or even confidently sail a sailboat.

Often, we burden ourselves with excuses: needing to finish important projects, waiting for economic stability, or simply "finding the right moment." These excuses create a barrier known as the "frustration barrier." This is the initial learning period when every step seems enormous and extremely difficult. However, research and personal experience show that the frustration barrier can be overcome with just 20 hours of practice. This is enough time to grasp the fundamentals of any activity.

This course is designed to demonstrate to you how with minimal theory and maximum practice, you can transcend fear and uncertainty in new endeavors. We will focus on applying techniques that have helped me personally master skills like yoga, programming, touch typing, guitar playing, chess, and windsurfing. This course will show you that with the right approach, you can start practicing and mastering new skills right now while studying the material.

This course is not just a textbook; it is your practical assistant and guide in the realm of self-improvement. Let's begin learning without procrastination, and you will see how step by step, you can achieve the results you have long dreamed of.
