• Do Drills
• Retention
• Build intuition
• Get feedback
• Experiment

(2) Techniques:

• Spend ~10% of your time preparing / planning
• Establish a benchmark (interview experts)
• Spaced repetition software to counter exponential decay in knowledge
• Feynman Technique (write a magazine article) to explain concept
• Get different types of feedback (outcome based, informational & corrective)
• Use the "question book" method (write notes as a series of questions)
• Identify your rate limiter of learning (the focus should be to conduct drills there)
