Really useful video, giving tips on how to reshuffle our working time so that it's truly effective.   It details these 5 tips:

1 - Deconstruct the skill, and use the Pareto Principle - the 80/20 principle.  Focus on just the 1 or 2 tasks that will give you the majority of the results.

2 - Have a laser-like focus and use the Pomodoro Technique.

This is where you shut down all external distractions and fully focus on the task for around 20 - 25 minutes, then take a 5 min break.  After 4 of these sessions, so after around 2 hours of this, take a longer break.  Apparently this increases productivity significantly, so is a great tip!

3 - Learn by Doing -and gain experience by making mistakes

4 - Be Persistent - fight through the 'dip', which is the time after your initial excitement, when things aren't happening as quickly as you wanted them to and a lot of people quit

5 - Get Enough Sleep - sleep consolidates memories, and allows our brains to continue developing given all the new information we're consuming.  The video explains this Brain Plasticity Theory.
