Spaced Repetition
Short Answer
Review material at increasing intervals so you practice recall right before you would forget. This concentrates effort where it creates the biggest long-term retention gains.
How to Use It (Simple)
- Turn material into questions (active recall, not rereading).
- Review more often when you miss; review less when you succeed.
- Keep cards atomic (one idea per card).
- Prefer short daily sessions over long weekly sessions.
Common Mistakes
- Cards that are too broad (you can’t answer cleanly).
- Reviewing passively (recognition feels like knowing).
- Adding too many new cards per day (review debt).
