Maximize Repetitions Per Unit Time
When learning a skill, work for a defined time block such as 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour, and aim for maximal or near-maximal density of safe repetitions and safe failures. If time-limited, 10 minutes of maximum-focus, maximum-repetition practice is preferable to longer unfocused practice.

“The neurobiological explanation for learning a skill is you want to perform as many repetitions per unit time as you possibly can. At least when you're first trying to learn a skill.”
