I’m OP. Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I think decks have to be personalized. But I don't agree the argument that "writing out in pencil then transferring back to a Spaced Repetition Software" is better than "pre-made selections of reading material". For Incremental Reading, you have to select the important parts; there's no pre-made selection. It's just like highlighting; the material isn't pre-highlighted. I think the most important thing is the thought process: thinking which part is important and which isn't. The medium, whether you are doing it in paper and pencil is no difference than doing it digitally.

The Medium, whether you are doing it in paper and pencil is no difference than doing it digitally. Science says otherwise: https://www.fastcompany.com/40476984/this-is-how-the-way-you-read-impacts-your-memory-and-productivity https://www.fastcompany.com/40476984/this-is-how-the-way-you...

  >"Studies have shown that taking notes by longhand will help you remember important meeting points better than tapping notes out on your laptop or smartphone." By "doing it" I meant the thought process, the selecting process of what's important, not the medium in which you do your "whole studying". Also that study means that taking notes by hands is better than with a computer. It doesn't mean learning with paper and pencil is better than with a computer, especially when we involve other things like a spaced repetition software.
