Really great article. I am reminded of the speed skating training plan which is also a very valuable guide not just for training speed skating, or even for other sports, but for mastering anything in life. The training plan emphasizes (1) total volume/time spent, (2) spend the time on what helps you improve the most, (3) knowing your capabilities and limits, and gear your program around what will work for you.

Volume seems like it will always help you improve more. It's hard to think of any activity where more volume would not help. It reminds me of how increasing the amount of computation always improves neural network performance.
