If you can't spare 30m-1hr for self-care in a day, then you need to find a way to prioritize that even if it means a few points less on the assessment. It makes the vast amount of labor more enjoyable. If I do take notes, I am only making notes of what i want to make anki cards on.Īlso, i go on walks/run/exercise and try to do things like make nice meals and eat not in front a screen throughout the day. I was a huge note taker for most of my life so it does feel kind of weird to not take notes, but the active recall from the cards is more powerful than notes in terms of learning the material. If I need to return to anything I go straight to the slides. I tried making study guides at first while select material in anki cards, but this took took long. For an exam that combined material from multiple test, I pool and will refresh the deck so I have to go through everything again. I don't do any other other cards except the ones relevant to the upcoming test. Sometimes the same day, sometimes days/a week later. If it's a really detailed lecture I will make the anki cards as I go but if its concept lecture I will just take note of which slides I want to make anki cards for as I watch and then make the cards at some point after. My tests are multiple choice so its not like I will have to recall anything from scratch, so that helps me to be able to go through 200 or so dense cards in about 4 hours tops. If I expect myself to recall everything its going to take twice as long to review. I know this isn't THE BEST WAY to use anki, but theyre also just flashcards please don't me.Īlso when I review I try to just get 80% of the card and consider that good. I don't anki everyday, really just the days leading up to the test (I change the review options for its 1-2 days max) and I am really only netting about 300-400 or less cards per week of lecture material with this method, so I'm not drowning in new cards. and spending those two minutes frantically pressing through the cards. For example, the one anki card would be like "What is glycolysis" and I would spend 2 minutes active recalling the whole pathway (or whatever was highlighted in the slides) rather than "what is the first step of glycolysis?", "what the second step." etc. My cards are super general like "What is _?" or "Describe this pathway" and then I active recall the small facts all together in the logical way rather than breaking down everything into its own card. I use the whole slide, sometimes two or three, as the image for the card to save time. I make really big "flashcards" that are groups by topic and might cover multiple slides.
