On your own, unpaid, you should cram for days. Behave like videogame addicts, 
with adult diapers, stacks of canned food next to you, etc. The point is to burn 
the techniques into your brain.

On the job, work 8 hours a day, go home, and don't program. You owe it to your 
velocity to keep fresh for your job!
