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.

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.

After learning sessions, let your brain go idle for a short period to maximize the benefits of sleep and skill acquisition.

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

The 'Super Mario Effect' illustrates that adjusting your focus while learning can significantly increase your motivation and the number of repetitions you perform, leading to faster skill acquisition.

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

Realistic expectations are crucial; instant skill acquisition is a myth, and the 10,000 hours rule is misleading because it's not just about time but about the number of repetitions.

Training to failure can lead to greater muscle growth but also increases fatigue significantly, so it's important to balance intensity and recovery. Going from some number of reps in reserve all the way to failure in a single mesocycle is a good practice for many, but not required; you can go two or three reps in reserve as long as you do enough sets to achieve close to ideal hypertrophy outcomes.

Practicing skills like martial arts or playing an instrument often involves repetitive actions without questioning how to improve faster.
