The idea here is that you first work on maintaining the knowledge that you already have, and only then start to work on acquiring new knowledge. > 2) Currently, the smallest unit of scheduling time is 1 day.

I think that perhaps there is a misunderstanding of how the grades work. If you have an unmemorised card, the tool tips for grades 2-5 all say "I remember this card now, and will probably do so in a couple of days". So, if you're not sure that you'll remember the card tomorrow, keeping grading it 0 or 1, and the scheduled interval is much less than 1 day, so you can sledgehammer away until you'll get bored :-) Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
