Ten Times More!

Peter Gruner

March 28

I read an article the other day about how to be a better speaker.

The advice was to practice ten times more than you would normally.

Wait. What?

Ten times?

If I think of a play, the math won't add up. We usually rehearse three times a week for three hours. So, that's 9 hours a week.

Ten times that, is 90 hours a week!

That's more than 12 hours a day every day using that advice!

Crazy!!

But if you think of it as a metaphor…

Ten times = a lot more than you usually do

Then the advice makes sense.

I always underestimate how long something is going to take. And I start later than I should.

I've got some line learning to do. And some lyric learning to do.

Deadlines are approaching.

I can't spend ten times the amount of time that I usually would learning those things.

But I can spend MORE time than I usually do.

I can approach the learning with a ten times attitude!
