Remember It with Anki

You studied it. You understood it. Two weeks later it was gone. Rereading feels productive and mostly is not: the material looks familiar, so it feels learned, right up until the exam or the conversation where you need it. Anki is built on two ideas with strong support in learning research that are tedious to apply by hand: pull the answer out of your memory instead of rereading it, and review it again just before you would forget. Anki handles the timing. You write the cards and show up. This book shows you how to do both well. You will set up Anki and syncing so you can review anywhere, understand how notes become cards, and build a first deck the right way. You will learn to write cards that test one thing clearly, to use cloze deletions and image occlusion where they beat plain questions, and to understand what the scheduler does when you press each button. You will set sensible daily limits, recover from missed days without starting over, and judge when a shared deck or an add-on is worth it. No memory tricks and no miracle numbers. Just a small daily habit that keeps what you learn.
