I've been doing the "30 hour method" as described here: https://azeria-labs.com/the-importance-of-deep-work-the-30-hour-method-for-learning-a-new-skill/ https://azeria-labs.com/the-importance-of-deep-work-the-30-h... It's sort of like the Pomodoro technique, except with 30-hour chunks instead of 30-minute chunks. (Obviously they serve different purposes.) After studying a topic, while it is still fresh in my mind, I will make a few entries into my spaced repetition system (org-mode) and then I only review the entries between each of the 30-hour blocks. This means I'm only reviewing entries maybe twice a month at most. Yet, the spaced repetition still works well, and surprisingly, it doesn't take long before I'll only have one or two entries to review during my rare study sessions. My point being, even if you study your spaced repetition entries only once a month, it will still work. It also helps me not become too obsessed with creating cards for every little thing. I study a topic for a few weeks, and only at the end do I even think about spaced repetition and making cards. I review what I've learned (I do take notes sometimes) and make only a few cards for the most important topics. Ultimately I'm only thinking about or interacting with spaced repetition systems one or two days a month. Again, they still work even when used so rarely.
