I've started using Anki, mostly out of curiosity. It works, and I am pleased. I'm not sure what I should have predicted about this, or what simple test of efficacy there is. So far I'm just using the "Cognitive biases and related terms" and "List of cognitive biases and other fallacies" decks. I've thought about making a deck of my own, but have not acted on this.

Does anyone have other decks to suggest, that might be of general Less-Wrong related interest?

I've started organizing a HP:MoR book club. I've sent out an email, waiting on replies to gauge interest.

I've decided to use the group rationality diaries to motivate myself to take action on rationality-related things.

I use it for everything. I made a deck called "Life" and use it to memorize things like my SSN, phone number, friends' birthdays, which subway exit to take to get to Y location, etc.

What do you do for a living? I'm sure it could supplement your knowledge in whatever field it is.
