| | Ask HN: Most efficient practice schedule for learning? | | 8 points by javahava on Oct 27, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 8 comments | |
| I surprisingly couldn't find much information about this online. Say you're trying to learn a new skill, whether it's guitar, a new language, coding, or even a sport like golf. Are there general guidelines to follow for the most efficient practice schedule? Is it "x" hours a day of deliberate practice? Is it daily with breaks every few days, or basically just get as much practice in as possible? How do you best optimize your practice to improvement ratio? |
