Disagree. There are many graphs of players who are constant losers. Sticking to the same strategy & getting tons of volume is a recipe for not progressing at the game.

Agree, though I bet our fraction would differ.

With booklearninz', there's definitely diminishing returns per day. The more important thing is to be learning frequently. Like every day, a little bit goes a lot farther than trying to study for 8 hours one day then nothing for the next week.

That gives me an idea: consume just like 10-20 minutes of a good video / book / article before starting a session. Not only goes to promote the constant learning, but also may help get my mind 'in the zone' of thinking that it needs to be.
