Mark you have an example here that I can envision, and that connects well.

I remember similar with learning piano, where I would overdo certain parts, leading to internalization of some of the basics.

I do this also when learning vocabulary, as I use the vocabulary a ridiculous amount, and find it in Twitter search, or in other places, until there is basically no way I can forget it, like that I know bilious means ill-tempered or cranky, and no longer have to look that up if I see it in writing later.

I just finished writing an article (publishing in a couple weeks) about “hyper-simplifying” for a short period of time in order to break out of your comfort zone and hopefully create lasting change. Very similar to the idea of what you wrote here.

Astute observation :)
