Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I do all my mixing in one giant sitting and then don’t touch it again
• I cram everything into one long marathon session and walk away feeling like I’ve nailed it, then a few days later it’s mostly gone
• I sit down and hammer the whole thing in one long session and walk away feeling like I’ve got it cold, and then a few days later it’s just gone
• I cram it all into one marathon session and ace it that night, then a week later it’s basically gone
• I drill one topic until it feels mastered before moving to the next, but when the real test mixes them up I freeze on which method even applies
