📏 Study Guidelines — the 1-3-7-14-30 Plan
The one rule that matters most
Test yourself. Never just re-read. Memory science is clear: trying to recall an answer
(even when you get it wrong) builds a far stronger memory than reading the same page again.
How the schedule works
- New card today? Study it today (day 0).
- Got it right? It comes back after 1 day.
- Right again? Then 3 days later… then 7… then 14… then 30.
- Five "Got it" rounds in a row and the card is yours for months.
- Pressed Forgot? No shame — the card simply returns tomorrow. Every expert was once a beginner.
Good habits
- Little and often. Ten minutes daily beats two hours on Sunday. The 🔴 badge shows exactly what's due.
- Say answers out loud (or tap 🔊 to hear the card) — speaking uses more of your brain than silent reading.
- Use the tip field. Silly, personal memory hooks ("gir-affe neck reaches the roof") stick best.
- Honest buttons. Only press "Got it" when you truly knew it. The schedule is only as honest as you are. 😊
- Print your decks before big exams — a paper stack in your pocket turns bus rides into revision time.
