Leitner Box System
Sort your flashcards into three piles: Box 1 (Review Daily), Box 2 (Every 3 Days), and Box 3 (Weekly). Answer a card right and it moves up a box; miss it and it drops all the way back to Box 1.
You stop wasting 80% of your study time reviewing easy flashcards you already know by heart.
You flip through a 200-card deck from start to finish every night, spending equal time on easy terms and impossible ones.
- Start all new flashcards in Box 1 and test yourself from memory.
- Promote every card you answer effortlessly into Box 2 (review every 3 days).
- Send any missed card from Box 2 or Box 3 straight back to Box 1 for daily practice.
