My biggest training mistake was stopping once I got it right, instead of stopping once I couldn't get it wrong. There's a real difference between those two, even though they sound almost the same on paper. Getting it right once just means you found it, getting it right fifty times in a row means you actually own it and those are not the same skill level no matter how similar that first success felt.
I used to end a drill the moment it worked, treating that one clean rep as proof I'd learned something. Now I keep going until it's automatic until getting it wrong would actually take effort on my part instead of being the default outcome.
The drill isn't finished when you succeed. It's finished when failure stops being the easy option.
