It has been proven that if you can allocate 7 hours to a skill a week. Those 7 hours are better spent 1 hour a day than 7 hours all at once. Set up a schedule with your daily habits, weekly habits, monthly habits, quarterly habits, and yearly habits. This schedule will keep you on track to get you to where you want to go.
