This book by Axel Smith and Tikkanen proposes a way to ingrain chess tactics, called the Woodpecker method. Based on the repetition theory, the strategy is to solve the 1000 puzzles in the book over a period of 1 month, then solve them all again, this time over a period of 2 weeks, then again and again for a total of 7 times.
Spaced repetition is a widely proposed technique to improve pattern matching and learn languages or in general remember things. This book extends the same theory to chess, which relies heavily on memorizing tactics. Reviews vary on whether it would actual be useful or not. But the same “woodpecker method” could be used for Leetcode style interview learning as well …
Unrelated to the woodpecker method, another chess advice noted that could be generalized to normal life.
