- wonder_er 6y agoI'm a few days late, so I don't know if you'll see this. When adding "people cards", I do anki's forward-and-reverse card, and I build the card so I can read both sides, and generate the opposite side. I'm just trying to build an association in my brain for their name, so I might do: Front: "people: Neighbors to west, older couple, he likes woodworking" Back: "people: Joe and Trish" I only use a single Anki deck for all my cards, which span many interests, so I'll usually give myself a word to specify the topic, like "Go, Ruby, People, Mental Models" Or if I can grab a headshot or picture from Slack, Twitter, or LinkedIn, I'll often put the picture on the front, name on the back. When I review the card "from the back", I try to remember what the person looks like. I have aphantasia [0] so this form of recall is effortful.
