TDX = 30 Day Experiments

For all my adult life (about last 15 years), I’ve been actively learning everything I did not know.

Once I become good at one thing (e.g. cricket, photography, hacking exams.. or street fights), I lose the fascination to pursue it further and find myself getting attracted to a different thing (e.g. public speaking, web development, cooking, or kickboxing).

Every step of the way people told me to choose one thing and become a specialist in it. But I was unable to.

Many times, I feared becoming a Jack-of-All-Trades mediocre, but I always felt that choosing one thing was settling for less. I wanted to push the boundaries of how many skills one person can learn.

This stupid and never-ending pursuit has now put me in a pretty interesting position. Now I don’t have to pick up any new skill from scratch.

I already know dozens of complimentary skills that make me pick up that new skill literally overnight. I remember the first time I walked into a squash court. I ended up beating the guy who was teaching me.

But if there is one skill that I’ve become a specialist in, it’s the art of breaking down any skill into it’s first principles, and rearranging them to focus on only the most important aspects, that will make me become great at it after a structured learning and practice routine of about 30 Days.

 

The TDX List is my super-awesome list to catalog the experiences I’ve accumulated, and skills I have learnt or taught others in a way that it can be picked up in 30 Days.

For items in this list, I’m writing detailed blog posts that you can use to hack your way in picking up that skill and surpass months, sometimes even years of mindless training.

This list is an ongoing one and as I keep doing more experiments, I will keep on updating the list. It’s a life long project.
