Regardless of where you work, be sure to also give yourself a specific time frame to keep the session a discrete challenge and not an open-ended slog.
Veteran actors know that after an intense session of memorizing lines, it’s best to take a nap immediately. If you’re memorizing music, or anything else, the best thing you can do after a cram session is to go to sleep for at least 90 minutes before you do anything that interferes with the information you just stuffed into your noggin. If you take a nap immediately after your most intense practice session of the day, you’ll learn the most quickly. It’s no coincidence that researchers who study experts find that this is exactly what they do. Nap time isn’t just for kids.

Each page takes you somewhere you need to travel before you can land in the next spot. You zigzag, and in the low moments, you just have to keep plodding on—saying the next small thing about which you feel strongly, trying to nestle down into that single instant of clear memory you know without shadow of doubt is both true and important to who you’ve become.
