I've been thinking of starting an Anki discussion for a few days. Specifically, I'm wondering about decks that people have found or made, and why they're using them.
I've been learning Spanish and ASL and am considering memorizing braille, morse, and some chunks of biochemistry. One thing I've gone looking for twice now is something to help memorize combinatorics content like stirling numbers, binomal coefficients, and the 12-fold way but I think I might have to make that set myself.
Playing with Anki enough to feel confident that I can keep to it for years makes me realized that I'm not sure what it would be good to memorize. It seems wise to ask other people what their strategy with Anki is so I don't look back two years later and not feel like I spent them on things that were too silly or dissipative :-)

Is http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition#what-to-add helpful advice?
Spaced repetition - like the 'Anki' program does - is one of the most efficient ways to learn new things. (For research citations, see 'Study methods', here.)
I previously explained how to get up and running with Anki on an Android phone. Here's the guide for using Anki on a Mac:
