Interleaving
... space out learning over a longer period of time, and it randomizes the information we encounter when learning a new skill.
Interleaving causes your brain to intensely focus and solve problems every step of the way, resulting in information getting stored in your long-term memory instead.
For example, instead of learning one banjo chord at a time until you perfect it, you train in several at once and in shorter bursts.

These 10 Scientific Ways to Learn Anything Faster Could Change Everything You Know About Dramatically Improving Your Memory
Say it out loud
Learning and memory benefit from active involvement. When you add speaking to it, the content becomes more defined in long-term memory and more memorable.
Take notes by hand
Most of us can type very fast, but research shows writing your notes by hand will allow you to learn more.
Taking notes by hand enhances both comprehension and retention.
Chunk your study sessions
Studying over a period of time is more effective than waiting until the last minute.
Distributed practice works because each time you try to remember something, the memory becomes harder to forget.

Learning Something New
When we are learning a new skill, practicing is key, but what's more important is the way we practice and the variation we bring in the practice.
Practicing with Variation
Making the conditions slightly different while practicing improves our skills faster.
The modification between two practice moves needs to be subtle, not drastic.
How to Learn a New Skill
Try practicing differently, making small but smart changes, spacing the practice sessions.
A waiting period internalizes your practice. It makes you evaluate the results, focusing on what works and discarding what does not work. Constant modification and refinement, along with a 'cooling-off' period sets the skill properly.
