To get the most out of this course, you should plan to invest a total of 69 hours. If you dedicate 1 hour per day, this will take around 10 weeks to complete.

While 69 hours might seem like a lot, this course is your opportunity to build essential skills we were never taught in school — how to think visually. It’s a transformative learning experience. You’ll also dive into The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul, a book carefully selected to deepen your understanding of why spatial-visual thinking is so powerful. Rather than rushing, I encourage you to embrace the journey. You’re not just learning — you’re developing new capabilities. As Masashi Kishimoto said, "There's no advantage to hurrying through life." This course is designed to make the process both enriching and enjoyable.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Total video lesson playtime: 🎥 12.5 hours

• Estimated homework time: 📝 23.5 hours, which also includes reading the Prologue, Introduction, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2 of The Extended Mind

• To finish reading the book while applying the methods discussed, plan for about 2-3 hours per chapter for the remaining 11 chapters, adding up to an estimated 33 hours
