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.
|
|
|
|
- Anki is one of the most popular tool for this purpose with smart repetition and calculating the best time for you to repeat something.
|
|
- 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.
