The quality of your learning, including how well you remember skills and vocabulary, is dependent on a few variables including:
your natural ability,
the quality of practice, (distraction free, type of practice)
the frequency you practice (how many days per week you practice),
the duration of each practice, (how long does each session last)
and the intervals of practice (how many times per day you practice).
Most of this is absolutely within your ability to control!
• In order to remember things in the long run, you should review them within two hours of going to bed. (https://brainrules.net/long-term-memory/)
• You need 8-10 hours of sleep, consistently, every night! Long term memories are built in the last ~1.5 hour of sleep! If your sleep is less than this, you’re not going to remember things well and your potentially doing long-term damage to both your mental and physical growth (https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/how-much-sleep-do-teens-need-and-how-to-help-your-teen-get-enough)
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method that breaks work into focused intervals, separated by short breaks:
Intervals: Typically 25 minutes long, each interval is called a "pomodoro"
Breaks: Short breaks after each interval, usually 5 minutes long
Longer breaks: After four pomodoros, take a longer break, usually 15 or 30 minutes
What Is The Pomodoro Technique? (With Benefits and Tips)
The technique was developed in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo, an Italian college student who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. The name "pomodoro" comes from the Italian word for "tomato".
Here are some tips for using the Pomodoro Technique:
Limit distractions: Try to avoid distractions like your phone or other apps while working
Track your progress: Keep track of your sessions to help you manage your time
Adjust the time: You can try adjusting the length of your intervals to what works best for you
Take breaks: The goal is to build momentum by working in focused chunks, and then taking breaks to help you keep going
The Pomodoro Technique can help you:
Recognize and deal with moments when you can't control time
Focus on what matters, even when you're feeling distracted or overwhelmed
Improve your focus and productivity, especially if you have ADHD
