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.
