Normally sorting by ratings is a reasonable heuristic (sorting is currently broken).

Its the one important secret that has helped my software engineering career.

My total deck recently passed ten thousand cards (EDIT: now 14k).

In this guide, Ill explain the avoidable (dumb) mistakes, but also provide the effective strategies I found along the way.

While I focus on Anki a bit, principles from this guide also apply to SuperMemo.

Focus on adding work or study related cards for an immediate benefit.

Its very easy to desire to remember everything and find yourself overwhelmed.

Similar to Basic, except both sides of the Card are used to quiz your knowledge.

Proper cloze cards add meaningful context and improve fundamental understanding.

I frequently will just take a snapshot of the answer and paste unformatted.

If you can make a basic card, you can probably make it a Basic Reversed (BR) Card.

I want to know a words meaning, but trying to recall something that means origin has too many answers (immemorial, provenance, inception, etc).

Over time my preferences have gone from Basic Basic Reversed Cloze.

The same card will be wrong multiple days, marked as a leech and a waste of time.

For basic or basic reversed cards, Ill have a succinct answer on Line 1, line breaks, Lines 3 will be additional information.

Try to avoid this and write better questions with single answers.

You might remember Points 1, 2, 4 today and tomorrow only remember Points 1, 2, 3.

I can get one or two facts wrong and still continue with progression with the card (and without having to redo the card).

Similar to note taking, your own materials have better retention and comprehension.

Instead, highlightcircle the topics, write the Anki question you would have asked and finish studying.

After the study session (or tomorrow) review your circled questions and add it to Anki.

Spaced repetition isnt perfect, so asking the same question in a different way helps drill an answer.

Randomization helps prevent being able to recall cards only in a specific order.
