Quality in Quantity

Improving effective completion of a task comes from practise, and from multiple exposures, even if slightly different each time.  The more opportunities for exposure to a task, the more quickly the improvement. Skills like playing a musical instrument, or participation in a sport or game, are obvious analogies for the benefits of repetition.  Like those skills, knowledge work in the professional space benefits from repetition and frequent exposure.  The challenge is in finding ways to design more than once, to apply an equation more than once, or even finding a reason to read the Standard or technical specification many times.
