Suppose you have a project that requires 2 skills you’re learning, A and B, iterating weekly. You can only exercise 1 skill per iteration. What’s the optimal learning schedule?
ABABAB?
AABBAABBAABB?
AAABBBAAABBBAAA?
…
Spaced repetition people, any insight?

Feels like there will be increasing returns to batches rotation up to a point and then sharp decline due to “off” skill not being exercised frequently enough

"iterating weekly" means solely practice one of the skills for that whole week?
I think interleaving makes you favor A, and a week off is enough for spacing.

ABABABAB… : taking turns
ABBABAAB… : taking turns taking turns
Thue-Morse is taking turns taking turns infinitely. iirc you’ll also never get XXX for any substring X. Pretty fair and doesn’t get stale.
