As somebody who discovered how effective this was by accident in university (I studied 6 natural languages which is all memorization, so this strategy was key to not going insane), I would use this to, for example:
* Memorize keyboard shortcuts or commands for new programs
* Memorize key differences/things that I get mixed up frequently
* Memorize key details or flow for a meeting presentation/discussion with non-tech people
* Memorize things about your team members/co-workers/organization at a new job
* Memorize important dates or times (this works in one's personal life too)
The idea is that my brain power is finite and by using spaced repetition, I make as many things as possible 'auto-pilot' for my brain in order to leave more brain space for problem-solving and deep thinking.
