\u2022 Research suggests that practicing a slightly modified version of a task can lead to faster and more effective learning. Rehearse the basic skill, wait for at least six hours to consolidate, modify your practice slightly, and repeat. When we practice, we can set up narrow/artificial scenarios and end up being restrictive; instead, for indirect benefits, be flexible and cross train.
\u2022 Don\u2019t forget to rest. Performance improves primarily during rest periods, with the brain consolidating memories. Gains made during shorter \u201cwaking\u201d rest periods between practice sessions are greater than the gains made between daily sessions, i.e., after a night\u2019s sleep.
