הַשִּׁעוּר לְהִפָּטֵר מֵחִבּוּט הַקֶּבֶר הוּא

The appropriate amount [of time needed] to free oneself from [the punishment of] chibut hakever1 is

שֶׁחֵלֶק שִׁשִּׁי מֵהַמֵּעֵת-לְעֵת יֹאמַר אוֹתִיּוֹת הַתּוֹרָה, תְּהִלִּים כו

to spend a sixth of one’s day reciting the letters of the Torah, Tehillim and the like.

לִזְכּוֹת לְזִכּוּךְ הַנֶּפֶשׁ לְהִפָּטֵר מִכַּף הַקֶּלַע הוּא

One merits the purification of the soul that exempts him from [the punishment of] kaf hakela 

עַל יְדֵי חֲזָרָה כָּל הַיּוֹם, כַּמָה שֶׁיֵּשׁ בִּיְכוֹלְתּוֹ, מִשְׁנָיוֹת תַּנְיָא תְּהִלִּים בְּעַל-פֶּה

by reviewing Mishnayos, Tanya, and Tehillim by heart, as much as possible throughout the day.
