Spaced Repetition
Table of Contents
Review on a schedule so ideas stick - retention, application, and explanation, not fact pile-up.
Key Concept
- Review on a schedule before I forget - for retention, application, and explanation, not vanity metrics or fact pile-up.
- Level 1: Go back to what you learned before you forget it - so you remember, use, and explain it.
- Level 2: Scheduled review beats cramming because memory fades on a curve - revisit before panic, not after.
- Level 3: Spaced repetition works when review targets retention, application, and explanation - not bookmark counts or vanity metrics.
- Level 4: Set a review schedule for spine notes you actually use - drill what you need to explain, not every line you saved.
- Level 5: The wiki holds prose you can defend; spaced cards hold what you need on a timer - same drill lane as Flashcards and Ask Seek Knock on rhythm.
- The wiki holds understanding; cards and SRS hold drill - separate lanes, algorithm handles timing.
- In this garden, spine notes (~20%, Pareto Principle) opt in with
review: true - PKM habit prompts and Eternal Principles gospel cards share the same drill lane via
card_sets. - Ask Seek Knock is the faith-side version: keep asking on rhythm, not cram once.
Examples
- I do the same with note cards on capture and gospel lines - review on a schedule before I forget, not one marathon session.
- My kid's spelling list lives on the fridge; we hit five words while rice cooks - same little doses beat cramming the night before the quiz.
Note Relationships
| Relationship | Wikilink | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| contradicts | The Feynman Technique | when explaining gaps beats flashcard drill |
| extends | Ask Seek Knock | Persistent asking needs spaced return - not one-shot prayer |
| extends | Evergreen Notes | Evergreen understanding lives in the wiki; spaced repetition drills the facts you need cold |
| extends | Pareto Principle | Review the vital few cards - spaced reps on what moves recall |
