Splitting practice sessions up into…

I usually talk here about my guitar practice notepad. There I write down my weekly/monthly goals, and the lessons/exercises chosen to achieve them. When I’m doing some practice for technique maintenance, I play for around 2 hours. When I have more time during the day to dedicate to practice and there is no composing inspiration I practice more time.

However, there is something different happening when I’m learning something new which I find tricky to play and/or memorize.
When working on a difficult passage I have found that practicing for 30 minutes - and then pause for a few hours will yield better results than practicing for 60 minutes in a row.

Does this happen to you? What’s your experience?
