Spacing out practice sessions over a period of time is more effective than cramming it all in one evening.
It'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'll forget it sooner or later especially if we don't remember it often.

This could be used as a way to learn things and form habits.
[[id:05a39f96-fb1c-4d71-9be1-fc4c2e251e8f][Start small and improve later]] by practicing over small units, make the unit per practice bigger, and repeat until you'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.

There are various tools to practice spaced repetition with Anki is one of the most popular tool.
If you're using [[id:c422175a-5b65-4311-8cc6-11efd55364e8][Org mode]], org-drill is a plugin that builds on top of it to implement a spaced repetition memory system.

Update notes about notes The review for note-related topics is going to be reduced from this point because it's time to dedicate this month for learning a new skill to put this in use. 2021-05-05 16:55:04 +00:00
