  This is insightful, some of his tweets I found written there I didn't find elsewhere. - For 9000 cards+, reviews 100 cards a day in 20 minutes - Delete 1 or 2 % of cards that are poorly made - Reading a science paper is 0 to 5 questions unless to understand it well its 20 to 40. - Enter cards through desktop app, review on mobile (this i do already) - If memorizing saves 5 minutes in future, put it down I only have a few hundred cards or so, I only add a handful of cards a week at best.
