Thanks for joining this learning journey with us.

This repository documents my journey to getting better at anything by following the first 20 hours challenge. This is not sponsored. You can just check the Ted Talk at this link.

But, this is not just for me. You can also use this repository to document your journey and share it with the world.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to know the following. Is not a must, but it will help you a lot:

  • For you, this challenge must be:

    • Easy enough to be achievable
    • Ambitious enough to be interesting
    • Small enough to be achievable in 20 hours
    • Creative enough to be fun

I assure you that if you accomplish this, you will feel proud of yourself and be able to do anything you want.
