I used Anki _extensively_ when I was in dental school--I think I had something like 10000 cards at the end of school. You can seriously pack knowledge into your head with spaced repetition. Anyhow, Anki is AMAZING. The best thing it does is eliminate your downtime when you're studying. If you critically look at your periods where you sit down and do work, there's a fair amount of "staring out the window" time when you are not in [flow][0]. However, because of the timer system, I felt compelled to continue through flashcards throughout my 15 or 20 minute study periods. It feels great not to waste time. I should go donate to that project. [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
