The core of a super-efficient learning process:

Rapid cycles of direct, explicit instruction, immediately followed by active reps performing the skill, with feedback, until it’s solid enough to continue building on.

Then do that with more skills, then pull those individual skills together into compound skills, rinse and repeat as you climb to higher and higher levels.

Anyone who has seriously tried to climb a fiercely hierarchical skill tree understands that this is how it’s done.

Eventually you get high enough that you run out of high-quality resources for direct/explicit instruction, but you always keep the tight active reps with feedback, continually rolling them into compound skills.
