Anki is spaced repetition software, which is a fancy way of saying it presents you with questions—which you then answer—when you are just about to forget it, thereby strengthening the memory. You can use Anki to remember people’s names and faces, learn languages, study music theory, remember complex equations, internalize productivity advice, and so much more. Mastering Anki takes time and effort. That’s where I want to help. That’s why I wrote this guide.
