i tried this method and it useful for remembering passwords/phone #'s but of limited use for studying and understanding languages/math/coding/etc. might be more useful for things like medicine where you have to remember lots of info. the most effective way i've found to learn and remember is: 1. flashcards with spaced repetition (like anki, etc.) 2. then teaching it to someone (or pretend like you're teaching a class)/implementing it in code 3. solve a challenging problem. this could be trying the harder problems in the textbook and asking for help from the professor or exploring using it in novel ways.
