Setup

1. Types of Cards

  • - New = Blue
  • - Learning/Re-learning = Red
  • - Graduated = Green

 

2. How intervals are calculated (for graduated cards)

 

  • - New interval = current interval *ease*interval modifier
  • - Default starting ease = 250%
  • - Default interval modifier = 100%
  • E.g. Suppose you have a card with current interval of 10 days. Then if you have marked the card as Good, the next time Anki will show the card is: 10*2.5*1 = 25 days. At this point if you mark it as Good, the next time Anki will show the card is 25*2.5*1 = 62 days.

 

3. Ease factor vs. Interval modifier

  • Ease applies to individual cards. Each card has its own ease factor associated with it no matter which deck you move it to.
  • Interval modifier applies to decks. The whole deck has interval modifier associated with it.

E.g.

  • Deck 1 (interval modifier = 100%):
    •  Card 1 (10d interval): Ease = 265% —> New interval = 10*2.65*1= 26 d
    •  Card 2 (10d interval): Ease = 210% —> New interval = 10*2.10*1 = 21 d
  • Deck 2 (interval modifier = 80%).
    •  Suppose Card 1 is moved to Deck 2. Now Card 1’s new interval is = 10*2.65*0.8 = 17 d
  • Lower interval modifier makes cards appear at higher frequency.

 

4. How answers modify ease factor (for graduated cards)

  • - Good = ease remains unchanged
  • - Again = subtract 20% from ease
  • - Hard = subtract 15% from ease
  • - Easy = add 15% to ease

 

5. How answers modify interval (for graduated cards)

  • Good = current interval *ease*interval modifier
  • Again = relearning step.

 Each again is a “lapse”.

 If relearning step is answered incorrectly, card is shown again in the Step (minutes).

 If relearning step is answered correctly, the new interval is determined as a % of the old interval.

 E.g. Suppose old interval is 10 days. Then if new interval say 0% —> card shows again the next day. If new interval is 70% —> show card again in 70% or 7 days.

  • Hard = current interval *1.2*interval modifier
  • Easy = current interval *ease*interval modifier *easy bonus

 

6. Don’t get stuck in “Ease hell”

 

  • “Ease hell” affects graduated cards.
  • Suppose new card has interval of 5d —> If mark Good, you see it again in 5*2.5*1 = 12 days —> If mark Good, see it again in 12*2.5*1 = 30 days —> If mark Good, see it again in 30*2.5*1 = 75 days.
  • Suppose a different card also has interval of 5d —> If mark Again or Hard frequently, its interval drop to lowest possible, which is 1.3. Then see it again, and mark Good, see again in 5*1.3*1 = 6d —> Mark Good, see again in 6*1.3*1 = 8d —> Mark Good, see again in 8*1.3*1 = 10d.
  • —> Thus, you see low-ease factor cards too often sometimes, or “ease hell”.

 

7. Learning Phase

 

  • Answering a card incorrectly in the learning phase does not change its ease factor and does not count towards the lapses. These things only happen in review phase with graduated cards.
  • At any time in the learning process you get the card wrong, Anki goes back to the first step in the Steps (in mins) until you get the card right.
  • —> Thus, should increase learning steps so you can learn the cards well enough before cards are graduated.

8. Longer learning steps are better

  • Longer intervals build stronger memory
  • Longer intervals are more efficient
  • SuperMemo 2 (1987):
  • Interval 1 = 1 day
  • Interval 2 = 6 days
  • Then Interval = previous interval *ease factor
  • Barhrick Study (1993): longer study intervals are better
  • Rohrer and Pashler (2007): having too little spacing is worse than having too much.

 

9. Aim for 80-90% retention rate

  • Aim for True retention rate of 80 - 90%. If >90%, cards may be too easy and/or review too frequently. If <80%, cards may be too difficult and/or review too sporadically.

 

10. How to achieve ideal retention rate

  • - Periodically check your retention statistics. Check the Statistics tab to get True retention of mature cards within 80-90%.
  • - Modify interval modifier accordingly. If needs to change, change Interval modifier by going to deck overview —> Settings icon —> Options —> Reviews —> Interval modifier. Check Anki manual for an equation to calculate the appropriate modifier (at Anki manual site —> Deck Options —> Reviews).
  • Improve quality of cards. Read SuperMemo site “20 rules of knowledge formulation”.

22 August - 30 September

Random days of random intensity, sometimes 5hrs+ sometimes just 20 minutes. Calendar shows which days I studied.
I didn't take screens or record much, was feeling doubtful about sharing progress and if this is even going to be worth it in the end.
Anki is effective but it's painful, especially when I just want to chill, which I want to do a lot.

I am focusing on doing a nice even 30min-1hr a day until the end of the year.
