Idle Quiet Time After Training
After skill practice or training, do nothing for a brief period so the brain can replay and consolidate the motor sequence. Ideally sit or lie quietly with eyes closed for about 5–10 minutes, though even 1 minute can help; avoid new sensory input, social media, email, conversation, or shifting to other learning tasks.

“simply letting the brain just go idle for 5 to 10 minutes mean not focusing on anything not scrolling social media not emailing not ideally not even talking to somebody just lying down or sitting quietly with your eyes closed letting those motor sequences replay”
