I was recently contacted by the folks at Fuel to hold a reader giveaway- how exciting! They make breakfast protein shakes, granolas and porridge pots.
Fuel are a range of breakfast products aimed at people who are on the go. They are inspired by a book “Outliers” which has a theory that to become an expert at anything you need to do it for 10,000 hours.
I am not sure that I have done many things for 10 thousand hours just yet!
One lucky UK based reader can win a two week supply of their products. All you need to do is answer this question and leave a comment with your answer- If you had 10,000 hours to spare, what would you work towards?
I would love to learn German, so if I had all that free time I think that is what I would do. Maybe when I retire!
Entries will close Monday 15th July at 7pm. I will then use a random number generator to find the winner. Good luck!
They have also sent me some samples to try which I will post on here at some point- I had the granola on my acai bowl at the weekend and it was very tasty.
If I had 10,000 hours to spare I would use it to for once and for all work with doctors to find a cause to my chronic daily headache syndrome. Right now it’s managed but I can foresee a time where the meds may no longer be feasible. If I knew what the cause(s) were I’d be able to help myself more. At this point I do not believe there is an actual cause that I can control, but if I had that much time I’d get to know for sure!
If I had 10,000 hours to spare I would probably learn to swim properly. I am a rubbish swimmer and would never be able to enter any tri events for fear of drowning in the mad rush at the start of an event.
I would train for an Ironman!!
As my daughter is deaf I am trying to learn British Sign Language and Cued Speech, and I could seriously do with 10,000 hours work on them!

If I had 10,000 hours to spare I would make loads of cute DIY knick knacks for mine and my fiances home after we get married.I would also volunteer at the animal shelter so I could spend hours helping and cuddling animals.Also,I would make sure I completed my administration course and look for my dream job!
if i had 10,000 hours extra i’d read a good few books
I would want to get my NVQ3 so I could definitely get a teacher assistant job in a school. Even though I have the experience and an NVQ2 they still require a NVQ3 to geta job in a school as a teacher assistant. I look after children in a nursery anyway but to get the teacher assistant job I need to get this qualification. So 10,000 more hours would be great to be able to get my qualification.
