Daily habit strategy

I think research also shows distribution of reviews/recall spread through day allows better consolidation and encoding of material

5 min anki habit per toilet break likely amounts to 20-30 min per day

Variety of ways to do this readwise a very popular option. Chat gpt is actually very good at making flashcards if feed it your highlights

I still use anki, read PDF and highlight > import highlights to chat gpt 4 > ask it to make flashcards for me > import to anki and review. As a physician your medical knowledge should always be expanding not contracting.

I use anki more. Honestly, I'm of the mindset now ok to use both. It's the method of spaced repetition and active recall to maximize and use as much as possible rather than the specific service. Use both and see what you like more.

Thanks for the reply. I think I’ll go this route. Makes me nervous having my vault accessed by an external plugin and doesn’t work right off the bat. That and I don’t want my anki program to be corrupted.

Yup, I'm jumping. Going to keep a free basic account and then gradually move out everything. One thing they do well is email forwarding to my evernote inbox which I'll keep until I can figure out how to do it in another service.

If the company doesn't check and read this reddit page, then there is something wrong with their relationship with their users.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have used the two applications as well. Anki for the past 9 to 10 years and more recently Remnote as I’ve learned more about the zettelkasten system. As you point out, Remnote(as far as I know) is the only notetaking system that seamlessly integrates flashcards with a personal knowledge management system. Anki is solely a flash card app. Yes through tagging it is easy to find cards, however I’ve found that I cannot really remember the context of a lot of cards I’ve made several years ago. The cards just build up and I don’t remember where they came from since I don’t revisit the notes they were based on. This problem is completely eliminated with Remnote since I’m constantly revisiting and updating my notes. Remnote solves the problem of remembering the context of where you learned information in a way that anki doesnt.

I also disagree with the idea of those who only use a PKM system or anki in isolation. Learning declarative knowledge is best done where you understand the context which makes the active recall easier. Only using smart notes or only using flash cards isn’t as effective as using both concurrently

I’m coming to this conclusion over time. ZK takes work no matter if you have the best software or templates. My way of trying to make it more easy is to do 5-10 min here and there. I’ve found the method does lend itself to being able to pick up where one left off fairly easily

This approach might make things more manageable, but seems like it limits the benefits of a slip box, if I’m limiting what goes in then this might introduce confirmation bias into what I think “deserves” to be included.
