An attempt at gaining insight
Peter quotes Gail Sher in this weblog entry. Did Gail figure that out by herself, writing at least one haiku a day with no exceptions? It sounds very "budo" to me.
An anecdote from my time as an Aikido practitioner at Göteborgs Aikidoklubb says that to master the bokken (wooden-sword), performing one concentrated cut a day would be enough. That's one cut, not two, not zero.
Anyway, referring to Peter's blog, I've always had the feeling that writing down something that you've just learned would dramatically raise your chances of remembering it, as well as improve your understanding of it. Unluckily, I've never been a good practitioner of this art.
