I keep seeing from people who use Anki that their performance has gotten significantly better since they started using it and that it seems to be the most successful method many people mention in terms of learning and remembering the content. My question is, for those of you who have used it and found success in it, how do you go about using it?
The reason I ask is because I tried to get into it at the very beginning of this year (M1). I realized that making the flash cards on every detail in each powerpoint was probably taking me an average of 45 minutes, and I type at about 120 wpm. I wouldn't want to make cards for just the high yield stuff, though, since school exams pretty much treat high yield content and minutiae the same.
At 45 minutes per lecture and 4 lectures per day, that's 3 hours per day spent just on TYPING out the cards. That's valuable time that could be spent memorizing and understand the content presented from that day. So, I'm just wondering, how is it that you guys go about utilizing Anki, and how has it brought you success despite taking up so much time just with the typing out of the cards. Thanks
