Problem

I would like to know which command I use the most on the command line. I would like to know so I can improve my use of the command line. If I know which command I use the most, I can then read more about them try and figure out better ways to use them. I know history keeps a list of all the previous commands I typed. How would I process it to see a list of the top 10 or 20 most used commands.
