After a skill learning session, taking a brief period of idle time allows the brain to replay the motor sequence performed correctly, which is important for rapid consolidation and learning.

Maximizing repetitions and allowing for idle time after training can significantly enhance skill learning and retention.

To enhance skill learning, focus on maximizing repetitions during practice sessions, allow time afterward for the brain to rehearse what it learned without distractions, and make many errors during initial sessions to enhance neuroplasticity through the reward process.

Focusing on the density of training sessions, rather than duration, can lead to faster skill improvement.

Ultra-slow movements can enhance skill learning but should be introduced only after achieving a certain level of proficiency in the movement.

During a 90-minute work session, I aim to enter a focused state, turning off my phone and using low-level white noise to enhance learning and workflow. I find that achieving this focused work state can be challenging, but once I do, it feels incredibly satisfying, like a workout for the mind.

It's beneficial to revisit lessons and concepts as you progress, as you may gain new insights after some time away from them.

REM sleep acts as an electrical fertilizer, stimulating the growth of connections in the brain, which is essential during infancy.

Once you achieve a success rate of about 20-30%, introducing ultra-slow movements can be beneficial for refining skills.
