Exactly, treat your training like a budget. First, list every activity: lightsaber drills, conditioning, theory study, rest. Assign each a cost in hours and an expected benefit score. Then rank them. Anything with low benefit but high cost is a candidate for trimming—maybe replace a 20‑minute sparring session with a 10‑minute focused technique drill that yields the same skill lift. Don’t forget the opportunity cost of sleep and recovery; cutting there hurts more than any fancy pad. Keep a simple log, update weekly, and adjust when the ROI drops. If you’re still wondering where to cut, ask yourself: does this drill directly improve accuracy, speed, or power? If not, it’s a cost, not an investment.
