Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing material at increasing intervals.
The Forgetting Curve
Without review, we forget:
- 50% within an hour
- 70% within 24 hours
- 90% within a week
How Spacing Helps
Review schedule example:
| Review | Interval |
|---|---|
| 1st | 1 day |
| 2nd | 3 days |
| 3rd | 1 week |
| 4th | 2 weeks |
| 5th | 1 month |
Software

- Org-drill (Emacs)
