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

Depending on how your attentional targeting fluctuates, I would lean toward opening spans for single skill focus, or otherwise, variate repeatedly as in ABAB.
I've accepted that my brain needs ABCD. If it becomes necessary to pinpoint my focus, I try to approx that rhythm.

I've had thoughts but the only one that might be novel is that the necessary reacquisitions will also be trained and grow more efficient, at least over the initial iterations. It's tempting to model this too cleverly, probably this is just a duty cycle of a learning zone.
