I can spend hours on a relatively low number of cards just to make sure I'm studying the concepts properly but when it comes time to applying the knowledge, the things that I can answer in a second on Anki I have so much trouble with in the form of a test question. It really is not helping me with retention and I basically end up just memorizing the card in the little bubble within which I am interacting with it, but have such a hard time using it to synthesize concepts together.
I really don't want to stop using Anki because I can't think of how else I can retain the stuff I'm learning now longitudinally for step 1 and 2 but as it stands it is really hampering my learning because it swallows up so much of my time and I'm unable to deeply interact with a concept because I am falling behind with other lectures. Anyone have any tips on how I can transition to more application based studying while not completely abandoning anki. I know it has some benefit because it helped in my first two blocks but now that we're more systems based, I am really struggling with a comprehensive understanding of physio.
