I personally have the following categories (keeping in mind I stole pretty much all the geography and French and math cats from the website, and those cats are largely unmemorized by me): [07:32 AM] 191Mb$ grep '^V' .mnemosyne/default.mem |head -n 79|sort|uniq VBody language VBook of Five Rings VCalendar VFrench:Ailments VFrench:Body parts VFrench:Clothing/accessories VFrench:Countries VFrench:Grammar VFrench:Idioms VFrench:IPA vowels VFrench:Months VFrench:Months of the year VFrench:Seasons VFrench:Sentences VFrench:Verbs VFrench:Vocab VFrench:Weekdays VGeography VGeography:Africa VGeography:Americas VGeography:Asia VGeography:European capitals VGeography:USA states VGeography:US capitals VGo VHistory VHistory:China VHistory:Legal VLiterature VLiterature:Borges VLiterature:Chinese VLiterature:Japanese VLiterature:Rubaiyat VLiterature:Rumi VMath VMath:Addition and Subtraction VMath:Angles VMath:Area/Volume VMath:Arithmetic VMath:Circles VMath:Lines VMath:Statistics VMath:Straight Line VPhilosophy VPhilosophy:Ancient VPhilosophy:China VPhilosophy:Indian VPhilosophy:Logic VPhilosophy:Mind VPhilosophy:Modern VPhilosophy:Pre-socratic VPhilosophy:The Republic VPhilosophy:Wittgenstein VPhilosophy:Zen VPRIVATE VQuotes VScience VScience:Biology VScience:Chemistry VScience:Physics VScience:Psychology VSports VTechnology VTechnology:Haskell VTechnology:Java VTechnology:Linux VTechnology:Scheme VTechnology:TeX VVocab VVocab:Architecture VVocab:Food VVocab:Internet VVocab:Japanese VVocab:Legal VVocab:Nautical VVocab:Religion VVocab:Rhetoric VVocab:Scots VVocab:Textile > Please describe the contents of your card decks (eg vocabulary from Lets > Learn > Japanese book 1, Internet country codes, etc....) > > Have you shared your decks with others or would be willing to do so?

By regular easy review, and by forcing me to break material down into simple memorable questions or quotations or examples. > What do you find is the best time of day to review your decks? At night, before bed. This is convenient, and given all the results about sleep and memory (even something like Dual N-back benefits from being done before sleep instead of upon waking!), I suspect that it's more efficient. -- gwern --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
