The idea of covering the subject was invented by teachers and those who supervise teachers as a way of measuring whether or not they were doing a complete job. It rarely has relevance for the individual adult learner. Moreover, in many subjects and skills, you can learn 80 percent of what you want or need to know in the first twenty hours of study.
Flow is that state in which learning and happiness are most completely merged....Flow happens in every activity. In sports, it's that moment of reaching the zone where your ability and performance excel....In dancing, painting, surgery, and even writing, there's a sense of control, a profound focus on what you're doing that leaves no room to worry about what anyone will think of your work.
