Like many of us, I learned some new skills during quarantine.  The way I learned them, however, seems counterintuitive.  Rather than work on them every day, I frequently took days, or even weeks, off between practice sessions.  But I still improved, sometimes significantly.  How did I do it?  I was  utilized spaced practice - the distribution of practice over intervals of time.  Spaced practice is a more effective approach to learning as compared to massed practice.  Learn how it works and how to integrate it in our second episode of a series focused on learning.
