The ultimate spaced repetition cards

Rules for creating the cards:

  1. One thing per card.
  2. Write the thing you want to remember on the front.
  3. On the back write how it relates to you personally. Even if it’s loose.
    For example if you’re learning the word ‘abrir’ in Spanish, (‘to open’), write something about a time you opened something. Anything.
  4. Draw a stupid picture of it. The stupider the better.

Spaced repetition rules:

  1. Test yourself with the card.
  2. If it was hard put it in the next day slot.
  3. If it was easy put it in the slot to review in 7 days.
  4. If it was hard on the 7th day, put it in the next day slot.
  5. If it was easy on the 7th day put it in the slot to review in 14 days.
  6. If it was hard on the 14th day, put it in the next day slot.
  7. If it was easy on the 14th day put it in the slot to review in 28 days.
  8. If it was hard on the 28th day, put it in the next day slot.
  9. If it was easy on the 28th day put it in ‘I know this’ pile.
