2. You may have heard of the 10,000 hour rule, which suggests that it takes 10,000 hours to master a given subject. Well, it turns out it's not that straight forward. — Blow to 10,000-hour rule as study finds practice doesn't always make perfect

5. I've been on a bit of a musical quest this last week. I'd got into a bit of a rut only listening to a select few albums and pretty much nothing else. So I started exploring similar artists to those I like thanks to Spotify and Last.fm's related artist features. It's a great way to discover new music. I'm adding my favourite discoveries to my 2019 playlist which you can check out here.
