In study, a repeated short session stays longer than one rare long day. These pages explain short practice, daily review, checking yourself, and cards.
A short practice done often stays longer than a long one done rarely.
A short practice repeats a little in one sitting.
Attention does not scatter as fast, and it is easier to start again the next day.
A long rare session leaves the days between empty.
A short check of yesterday's material keeps today's new material from covering an empty gap.
When new material lands on old material that was not checked, both get mixed.
Daily review means seeing yesterday's small part again today.
It is not a long lesson.
Saying the answer before you see it is different from recognizing it while looking.
Recognizing a text while you look at it is not yet remembering it.
A check means saying the answer before it is uncovered.
The place you miss is the place not learned.
One side of a card holds the question, the other the answer.
Say the answer first.
A card separates one question from one answer.
When you see the front, try to say the answer, then turn it.
If a card holds too much, it is a small page, not a card.
