Short bursts or deep dives for CEUs

I’m split between 15-minute microlearning on my phone during night shift breaks and a 6-hour live pharmacology update once a quarter. This reminds me of when I was learning guitar — daily 10-minute scales built consistency, but a Saturday workshop changed how I played; for CEUs, which approach has given you better retention and less stress when renewal hits?

Nightly ‘15-minute microlearning’ plus a quarterly pharm update works; Anki weekly keeps it sticky, though live days help for nuances.

But i get better retention doing 10–15 min quizzes tied to meds I gave that shift, then a 4–6 hour live pharm day only when guidelines change; “spaced beats crammed,” but the live day cements tricky nuance. One step: block a recurring 15-min slot and end each micro-session with a 3-question self-check — does that feel doable on nights?

And i started leaving a 90‑second voice note after each shift about one med that made me think (dose tweak, renal adjust, interaction), then before a live pharm day I binge those clips and turn the patterns into 2–3 questions to ask — renewal felt way calmer. @orca88 ever try a quick voice log like that?
