    00:00:00 Hello listeners

    00:03:44 Researchers at Johns Hopkins

    00:13:57 Know When to Take a Break

    00:15:50 A study conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health

    • 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.

    • Don’t forget to rest. Performance improves primarily during rest periods, with the brain consolidating memories. Gains made during shorter “waking” rest periods between practice sessions are greater than the gains made between daily sessions, i.e., after a night’s sleep.

The most excellent author

I’m a huge fan of his work and I love how I can get these little snippets of inspiration on a regular basis. The narrator has an amazing voice on top of it!
