Learning –

I have a terrible memory and it is one of the main reasons I have this blog … while going through my MBA, I resorted to learning via the Anki memory recognition method. Here are a few resources I collected during this journey:

1. Keep decks simple (1 per exam) and use tags for systems, mnemonics etc

2. Understand first then memorize so you can apply what you learn on test day (makes learning quicker)

3. Lay foundations first (80/20) focus on highest yield information big picture basics before details

4. Minimum information principal (don’t make complex cards with sub items, make a bunch of simple cards for each sub item)

5. Cloze Deletions are AmAzInG! (Helps with step 4)

6. Images Photos and Figures (better than a bunch of text) even an “unrelated” image that makes you think of the topic — image occlusion enchanted
