I've just started to use anki (so I've been thinking about this topic a lot).
What I plan to do is put my favorite motivational quotations on there. You could just use quotations in general as they are already short and they lend themselves easily to cloze deletions.
I've also got a book of proverbs. I've been going through it and using anki for the ones I like. Proverbs are also good because there has been a lot of research on embodied cognition recently and how visual images are much easier to remember. If you can get good at looking at concepts and then thinking of images/proverbs that illustrate the concept well, you will be well on your way to becoming a great writer. Even better, you'll become a great thinker because clear writing is clear thinking.
So, have you been doing this? What do you think of it now?
(I'm considering doing about the same for quotes)
I've not been doing it. I don't think I have enough material that I'm motivated to anki-fy, that I can make a habit of using it.
If I were going to start using it more, I'd use it for: 0. Ruby 1. Calc 2. Linear Algebra. 3. Quotes. 4. Jokes
Thanks for reminding that I should probably use anki more.
So, have you been using Anki more? :D
(I've added a few quotes in Anki, but only when they contain useful information and not general motivation stuff)
No shrug
But, I did get my girlfriend to use it for school. :D
For what it's worth, I never got into the habit of using Anki until I installed the mobile app on my smartphone. This happened about three years ago, and since then I've been using it on a daily basis, primarily during commutes. If your experience is limited to the web or desktop versions, do consider giving the mobile app a try.
I did use it on my phone more than anything when I did use it. I just don't have much information I want to memorize at the moment.
