Drilling one sequence for an hour and a half is a good way to get better at that one sequence

Summary

Troy Akin’s reminder: drilling one sequence for ~90 minutes is a legitimate way to get better at that sequence. Depth builds automaticity; constantly switching drills keeps you forever ‘familiar’ and never sharp.

Key takeaways

• Long blocks on one pattern
• Automaticity needs volume with focus
• Variety later; ownership first
• Quality still matters inside the long block

Action items

• Pick ONE sequence this week; dedicate a full session
• Define the sequence in writing before you start
• Take short form breaks; don’t switch topics
• Test it in games the same day
