I’m interested in discussing this as well. I recall a LW thread asking for links to SRS forums and such but can’t find it now.
I have issues with formulating cards. The idea of creating a suboptimal card that I will then remember forever is so daunting that I often give up.
For example I found cloze deletion convenient, but gwern’s review advises to use free recall instead, which I am unsure what is exactly. Or I get obsessed with automating the process, like pulling definitions from a dictionary, google translate, or pydoc. Math concepts are also hard to break down into flashcard-sized chunks. It's all so agonizingly tedious.
I sound whiny. Please inspire me with SRS success stories.
I guess your examples of automation suffer from being too indiscriminate? I pull new words from the A.Word.A.Day archives, and a small but sufficient fraction of those are new and interesting. Muflax had suggestions for language-learning that sound reasonable to me.
I can't really give you advice on other stuff, because I also procrastinate on adding things by hand and struggle to make good cards when I do. I suppose one should worry less about adding perfect cards and be prepared to prune ruthlessly instead.
As long as the information is correct, I see no problem. The reason to optimize the wording of a card, AFAIK, is to make it easier to learn. You can always make those optimizations later, while reviewing, or when looking at the statistics to find cards that you have a hard time to remember.
