Anki has been the greatest positive driving force in my life at the moment. I was using the decks to learn a new language, but I never had any real success and found the number of reviews too hard. My patterns evolved from:

Looking at the app maybe once every week, then ignoring it for months
Trying to use it every day, but being frustrated and tired by the number of reviews, and then ignoring it for months
Adjusting the numbers of reviews per day to something smaller, and finally turning it into a daily habit

As of a few days ago (after reviewing a deck every day for the last few months), I have now gotten 90% of my 5000 card deck in the "Mature" category and only have a remaining 10% in the "Young" pile. Up until a few days ago I was doing 30 minutes of a day, and now I now do maybe 5 minutes after the repetition started to "kick in".

I love Anki

me too. I expect emacs shortcuts everywhere :)

But I haven't mastered anki or org-drill or org-fc or any of those learning-by-repetition systems, except for paper slips.

So many things to explore, so little time ...

~bartender? A nice Lager for me please. Thanks!
