If your pain point is time, design around it. Trade three hours once for three twenty‑minute sessions each week, plus five minutes of retrieval. Week one, pick one workflow that trips your team. Practice a small technique, like writing a tighter prompt, cleaning a column of data, or drafting a one‑page decision note. Close the session with a quick retrieval check: write down the three steps without looking, then run them once in a live file. Week two, raise the bar. Change the data set or the audience. Run the same steps, collect one metric that proves the difference, and share a short note with your manager.

By the end of fourteen days you will have two artifacts that your future self can use: a cheat sheet you wrote from memory and a before‑after example tied to a metric you care about. This is what spaced learning buys you in a busy job. Not more theory. Repeatable moves that survive the week.
