"Skill regression" is such an awful term. It would be like taking a severe workaholic who is getting stress ulcers, having them develop a proper work-life balance, and calling that "productivity regression".

Totally. What do you think we should call it?

I don't know. "Functional rebalancing" would be more accurate, but kind of clunky. I can't think of anything more pithy.

Baselining is pretty much just that. You work your ass off for 6 weeks and then you're super unproductive for a week to get back to baseline.
