How many hours a week do you actually need to spend learning?

[JorahFinch]

There’s so much information out there that I feel like I could spend 8 hours a day just reading guides. How many hours a week do you recommend setting aside for learning vs. actually taking action?

I think staying consistent matters more than counting the hours. Even if you only have a little time to learn each day, it still adds up as long as you keep doing it and actually apply what you learn.

Spending a few hours learning is enough as long as you’re actually putting it into practice. There’s so much information out there that it’s easy to keep watching tutorials and never really get started.

I usually spend around 2–3 hours a day studying, then spend a few more hours actually putting what I learned into practice.

I’d keep the learning time pretty focused, maybe around 5–7 hours a week. The rest of the time can go into trying things out, since you usually learn a lot more once you start doing it yourself.

Just enough time to learn and still have time to put it into practice. I don’t think you need to spend hours studying as long as you’re actually learning something and using it.

I think this is more realistic. Around 5–7 hours a week of focused learning seems enough, especially if you’re also spending time actually trying things out and applying what you learn.

I’d probably spend around 10–15 hours a week learning. After my shift, I can spend a few hours reading books, browsing the internet, and learning from different sources, then use the rest of my time actually applying what I learned.

That’s around an hour a day, which feels pretty short for studying, at least for me. But I guess it really depends on how much time you have and how you prefer to learn.

Fair enough, I guess it really depends on the person. Some people learn better by studying for longer, while others pick things up faster by actually doing it.
