When I was first learning React, I spent time visualizing the coding of building-block concepts. After a few sessions, the concepts would become well-ingrained because I "simulated" the writing of the code hundreds of times in my head. It's faster than using a keyboard and physically performing the action, and I was able to do it during idle time when I was away from my computer.

I'm now applying the same method to CS and algorithm studies.

The speed at which I can practice iterations is the most valuable part. It also helped increase my ability to visualize things and "see" code in detail in my mind's eye. I won't lie, it is difficult at first, but I think the benefits are huge.

I similarly do this with language learning where, almost obsessively, I am just constantly reciting new vocabulary and expressions.
