< About how I try to learn to use Vim

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!
