    Just about 6 weeks ago i got an idea, well it´s not my idea really. Many before me have done it actually. 

    The point is, it´s a brilliant idea because when you decide to do it, you get motivated and give that little bit extra.

    What i am on about is starting a 10k hours project. You might get a little bit overwhelmed and think that you will never be able to complete it! Maybe you wont, but you will at least find motivation to keep it going for a while. In that time you might have learned much, and the road ahaed might not be filled with too many rocks. 

    During the 6 weeks i have been at it i have used blender, watched tutorials or done something else that applies for 145 hours. That´s way more than before i started the project.

    Here is some math.

    If you work one hour a day, it will take you 27 years to complete. That might seem overwhelimg but if you increase to two hours, the time to completion will be half of that. So it´s basicly about what you put into it.

    Once a week i subtract the hours i worked and do a new count of the time to completion. If i can manage to keep up the paste, i will be able to complete this in 5 years. Thinking of everything i will learn in that time keeps me motivated to continue.

    So this is how i make time for learning.
