But I think the point the poster is trying to make is that it isn't simple. The actual task of carrying out 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is complicated. You have to be constantly revising your strategy, measuring your progress, determining what, when and how to practice, and the actual tasks that comprise the practice may be complicated (as the poster said - you can't sit there eating snacks).


Simple, but easier said then done.


Or maybe - Simple, but complicated to do.

Someone could ask me "How do I make the perfect search engine?"

and I might reply "For any user and query make it return the most relevant results."

That is a simple instruction but actually complicated to do.
