I found spaced repetition systems easier to use on a regular basis than visualised-association systems such as the peg system and mnemonic major system, which were interesting to learn, but a bit cumbersome to practice regularly. Possibly I could become more fluent with practice of the latter but it's been procrastination-inducing so far.
I think spaced repetition is for natural amount of memory (e. g. 10 new terms each class) whereas visualization techniques are for unnatural amounts (e. g. 20 digits in 5 minutes).
