TIP #48 GIVE A NEW SKILL A MINIMUM OF EIGHT WEEKS

When it comes to growing new skills, eight weeks is an important threshold. Constructing and honing neural circuitry takes time, no matter who you are. Resilience and grit are vital tools, particularly in the early phases of learning. Don’t make judgments too early. Keep at it, even if improvement is not immediately felt. Give talent (that is, the brain) the time it needs to grow.
