Why spacing works
Revisiting material after some forgetting strengthens long-term recall.
Make good cards
Keep one fact per card; use clear prompts and avoid ambiguity.
Schedule reviews
Review more often for new material and less often as mastery increases.
Keep it sustainable
Limit daily load and prune low-value cards to avoid burnout.
