[From great-grandparent]: I have a todo somewhere in my org files about writing up all my Anki experience in a nice comprehensive article. One day I'm gonna get to it.
That would be nice. I liked these comments a lot.
Gwern wrote the article I wanted to write. :) Everything worthwhile he doesn't talk about I either already mentioned here or it's very specific to a given purpose, like the use of morphological analysis to sort language cards.
I have made some significant progress in organizing myself with org-mode (basically a really well thought out emacs outliner) - consider this a plug :).
Now I think I am ready to bite the bullet and automate another part of my mental apparatus, memorization. I'd like to hear other people's experiences with SRS - spaced repetition - (negative, too), what software they use, what do they use it for, how much time they spend. I expect these to vary, so stating your reasons is worth an extra upvote (and thanks ahead)
ETA: When do you decide something is worth memorizing vs. putting it into a searchable database?
