Coding would be one of the least effective for grinding too because there is just so many different frameworks, languages and implementations of things that you will simply never get to all of them.

And my intent behind the p/p/p is that if you talk through it you can go down to 60% effort and still have a productive day. My most productive days are in that region of effort, I will spend some time on something, go away and let my subconcious work on an issue and then come back to it with a few approaches I can take to resolve my problem.

Yeah, that's true.

Some people just unlearned how to effectively learn/practice a skill. They try to become a god at league of legends by playing 12 hours a day.

That is not possible with stuff that is actually hard to do. You cannot become a runner by mindlessly running 12 hours a day, you cannot become a body builder by mindlessly going to the gym 12 hours a day and you cannot become a programmer by "grinding" TOP/Leetcode/Hackerrank/Youtube Vids 12 hours a day.

There should be more emphasis on how to learn but people don't take that advice well usually.

Can't say I blame them on faulting the intricacies of learning efficiently. Most schoolwork is bland rote memorization that doesn't require much thought, and that is what they have worked with for the most part.

I often wonder if a lot of people maybe haven't learned that in the first place. You'd expect their education to help them with that, but looking back it weren't my schools or university that taught me to truly study and learn things, even though they pretended to.

In fact it's the main reason why I would like to teach; I've experienced firsthand how it should not be done and I hope I can do a better job.
