Personally, I don’t do much explicit, dedicated practice or learning of either general reasoning skills (like forecasts) or content knowledge (like Anki decks); virtually all of my development on these axes comes from “just doing my job.” However, I don’t feel strongly that this is how everyone should be—I’ve just found that this sort of explicit practice holds my attention less and subjectively feels like a less rewarding and efficient way to learn, so I don’t invest in it much. I know lots of folks who feel differently, and do things like Anki decks, forecasting practice, or both.
