Good Facts to Know
- If you'll lose 5 minutes of your time over your lifetime because you didn't know something, it's worth memorizing it with Anki. [1]
Card Design
- Include context clues for cards. For example, I might have a card "What does the PG provide?" with an extra field called "Context" to display "Ceph" on the card. This helps because I can mix all of my decks together without getting topics from different subjects confused with one another. Having this as a field saves me from having to write "...in the context of XYZ..." to every question.
- Do not include hints to the answer. If the hint is necessary, it should be part of the question and displayed by default.
- Include a source field. Even if it isn't visible on the card, it's useful to have recorded in case you need to verify the information.
Misc Tips
Flags
My personal approach to flags is this:
- Red: Incorrect information, should be corrected immediately
- Orange: Bad wording on a card or a card that can be split into multiple
- Yellow: Bad formatting
- Purple: Potentially unnecessary leech cards
