Think about it this way, you know precisely where that ball is going to be 1ms after you click,

all
you need to do is exactly the opposite movement and click again. Missing there means you're
not able to execute that movement again reliably.

you should relax your speed requirements and focus on consistency

think about it this way, if you could reliably hit that ball in the center after every other hit, you'll
basically be getting 2 hits for the price of 1 in terms of speed

the apparent large degradation of skill didn't reflect an actual loss of skill. Your immediate
performance is like a % multiple above your base skill. As you "warm up" or train that multiple
increases. Rapidly at first and then slower and slower throughout the day. It's impressive that
you were able to keep it increasing even 5 hours in.

but you have to regain that performance multiple every day in order to have the same apparent
level of skill every day

your base skill was still increasing over that period of time but because the measurements you
were watching were at such a high performance multiple, it was impossible to see

you should consider refocusing your training to that base skill level, it will yield much better
results over the long haul

you want to try to maximize that rather than maximizing your performance multiple every day

that's cramming. It seems to work well, and will let you pass tests, but doesn't seem to correlate
well with lasting learning at all

my routine is

3 rounds - multishot ai

3 rounds - spidershot ai

3 rounds - motionshot ai

3 rounds - reflexshot ai

3 rounds - microflex standard

3 rounds - blinkshot

3 min - what did I do well, what do I need to improve (reflection)

<doing something else/playing games/whatever for 2+ hours or so>

I've been measuring my first score of the day in multishot and tracking that as a rough marker of
my base skill. I haven't been doing this routine super long (I learned about interleaving like 2
weeks ago I think?) But the improvement in that number has been quite impressive

I also feel like I get to a much higher performance much quicker

the reason for 3 rather than any other number is that I chose the round where I always feel like
my skill falls off. So, I do blah in the first, amazing in the second, and ugh in the third and then
switch to a new task. No real science behind it, just a feeling that the fall off is an indication that
my mind's a little busy trying to learn what went so well in that second round

I also hop out between those modes and chat in here - more interleaving is good interleaving

Gotta have fun, but pay attention and try to actively improve your play too as you improve your
aim

they really are independent skills

Gotta remember that fast improvements you see arent real improvements

It's not the time training that matters, per se. What you're trying to do is get the lessons
embedded into your brain permanently. Doing it that much isn't bad, you'll still see
improvement. My goal is simply to maximize my improvement per time investment. And that
means breaking it up more. Besides, the breaks give you time to study/practice game sense
related improvement which is equally if not more important to your overall skill level in game

if I were going to advise you about that schedule, I'd say to take every other option and create
two bins A and B. Train A, hop out and study 5min of pro footage, dissect it and try to figure out
what they were thinking, how they executed their destruction for ~15min or so, train B, and then
do some yoga for ~15min. Intersperse gaming, eating, etc as desired but that'd give you a
discrete hour chunk to work with

the one thing i noticed about pro plays is

that they don't force the frag. they don't
stick to an enemy to the end, they take
their shot and move out, especially if
said enemy is not an immediate threat
or requires chasing.
