Practice Routine?

In most post yesterday, I resolved to learn from my mistakes of the past and use my losses to motivate me going forward.

But today, my post is a bit more reflective in nature.

While often people focus on the money-related choices in Economics, Economics is really a study of people's choices. It looks at how people with unlimited wants deal with limited resources.

In practicing for SC2, the primary limiting factor is time. So how does a player practice economically? (As opposed to getting practice expanding his in-game economy.)

So the question then is, how does one make best use of the limited resource of time?

(For some reason, that question gives me Karate Kid flashbacks. Paint the fence. Wax-on, Wax-off.)

The October Revolution post, shows that there is not "one way" to practice and that time spent is not the only deciding factor in determining practice results. Though, it does use the given that some practice > no practice.

And the obviously, this is also a very individualized thing. Sometimes focusing on your strengths may yield better results than focusing on your weaknesses, as a step forward in skill with that strength may make the weakness irrelevant. The proverb dating back to Plato of "Know thyself," applies.

But I am rambling, as I am oft to do. In hopes, that myself and other can apply such methods to our own routines or test the methods and see whether they might result in economical practice sessions for our own particular needs. So I guess the big questions are, "What practice methods do you use?" and "What practice methods do you find to be economical with respect to time?"

Splitting your practice time in many pieces instead of one long session is actually the most efficient way to practice, but unfortunately also the slowest

Yeah but the result tends to be better, if you just have patience.
