Wait, so does this let me do incremental reading via a web portal? Like, I can do this on my iPad?

I have been using Supermemo daily for almost 20 years, and I have basically stopped trying to sell people on the idea. When I explain it to them, they agree that it is a good idea, but very a few people can truly follow through in the long-

You’re referring to incremental reading, which yes is indeed one of the killer features of SuperMemo. You're basically just reading, but you have at the core of it an SRS (SuperMemo) to store cool ideas in flashcard form and every arti

Dude, nice job! I've been using SuperMemo daily since January 2006! I started using it only for Japanese vocabulary words, but after a few years I tried to branch out and start using it for other stuff. It took a while to really wrap m

Cool! Yeah, at a certain point I was looking for help in my flashcard routine but realized not many people have used a program like SuperMemo for a few years in a row every single day, and I thought it would be a good idea to write down my

I have a blog, like the early 2000’s! I’m also working on a book, hopefully I’ll have it done by the end of this year. The blog is called supermemoadventures. I’ve been using SuperMemo for 17 years, every single day. If you have any questio

I’ve been using SuperMemo for Windows every day for 17 years but I’ve started using Anki so I can do some foreign language flashcards on the go (I add them to SuperMemo after the interval gets to more than 1 month). Anki is easy and conveni

Whoa, awesome to see a fellow SuperMemo user here! I've been going for 17 years, I absolutely can't imagine life without SuperMemo and I've stopped trying to sell my friends on it. Have you tried integrating Study Wand with S

I’ve been using SuperMemo for almost 17 years every single day, started using it before Anki even came out. Too invested in my SuperMemo flashcard collection to jumó ship. I am 100% satisfied with SuperMemo 18’s algorithm, I’ve upgraded eve

Yes, exactly! I frequently notice during my day-to-day life, I will ask myself simple questions like “what is the state department?” and then I Google the question, read the answer, and create a question and answer pair in as simple languag

Hey, you sound like me! I’ve been using SuperMemo daily for more than a decade, and I’ve noticed something similar. Processing information and thinking in terms of “how do I make a flashcard that covers this fact?” has been helpful at both

As far as productivity goes, I use a text document to track when I begin a new task and I don’t “start” the next task until I finish the previous one. Doing this has made me really conscious of finishing something before I start something e

I guess I’m the extreme case then; I’ve been using SuperMemo for 16 years, every single day; originally it was to memorize foreign language vocabulary words, but has since expanded to everything I want to know. Left unchecked you’re right,

Spaced repetition all the way, my man. I’ve been using a flashcard program called SuperMemo for more than 15 years to remember cool stuff, and now I have a destination for anything noteworthy I find while reading or listening to podcasts.

Nope, doing reviews where topics are totally randomized (Called stochastic review) has been easier for me in the long run because I don’t have to categorize things, I just shovel them into SuperMemo and review them when their time comes. On

Hello! I’ve been a heavy user of SuperMemo for almost 16 years (January 23 is my SuperMemo anniversary!). Initially I thought SuperMemo was going to “think for me,” but the more I used it, I realized that it’s actually just augmenting my me

Good point, SuperMemo is kind of made for you to make gradual adjustments to your flash cards, at least on the web site that is encouraged. Maybe you make a flash card in incremental reading, you don’t have to fix it right away, you can wai

Yes that is interesting, remembering stuff is LITERALLY what our brains are supposed to do yet the very idea of spaced repetition is treated with immediate suspicion.
