This, specific deliberate practise is likely to yield the best results.
For learning in general, I highly recommend reading "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin. He was a chess prodigy and GM, (subject of the movie and book "Searching for Bobby Fischer") who then became a world champion at martial arts, so has an interesting perspective on learning really diverse skills.
Fun fact: I met Josh at a dinner party in 2020-ish and when he heard I was in tech he spent the whole conversation wanting my opinion on where AI was going to go next, what DeepMind were going to do etc.
