It&#x27;s because our brain takes time to absorb all of the information.
Learning is not instantaneous.
We might know the information now by first practice but we&#x27;ll forget it sooner or later especially if we don&#x27;t remember it often.
</p><p>This could be used as a way to learn things and form habits.
<a href="/wiki/2021-05-05-18-06-29">Start small and improve later</a> by practicing over small units, make the unit per practice bigger, and repeat until you&#x27;re confident to move on to other topics.
For example, say you want to be efficient with competitive coding.
You can start with solving only one problem per 3 days for a week.
Then, you can go with 2 problems per week, then 3, then 4, and so forth.
</p><p>There are various tools to practice spaced repetition.
</p><ul><li><p>Anki is one of the most popular tool for this purpose with smart repetition and calculating the best time for you to repeat something.
</p></li><li><p>If you&#x27;re using <a href="/wiki/2020-04-20-16-51-40">Org mode</a>, org-drill is a plugin that builds on top of it to implement a spaced repetition memory system.
