In Greek mythology, Mnemosyne, the goddess of Memory...

...was the mother of the Muses, the goddesses of inspiration.

Yeah.
</words>
<words x=196 y=65 w=270 no-bg>
Not only are common practices like lectures, re-reading, and highlighting <i>boring</i>,
science has shown they <i>don't even work well</i>.*

But what if I said there's a way to learn
that's evidence-based <i>and</i> fun?

<words x=164 y=141 w=300 no-bg>
What if I said there's a memory card game you can play, for 20 minutes a day,
to store <i>anything you choose</i> into long-term memory, <i>forever?</i>

And it's <i>awesome</i>.
I started using Spaced Repetition earlier this year to learn French.
</words>
<words x=30 y=350 w=430 h=60>
In two <i>months</i>, I learnt more words than I did in two <i>years</i>
of high school classes.
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=500 h=400>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=950 sy=450></pic>
<words x=10 y=10 w=400 h=60>
Since then, I've used Spaced Repetition to remember all sorts of things...
</words>
<words x=60 y=300 w=400 h=60>
...and this lil' memory card game became a core part of my <i>life</i>.
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=550 h=350>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=0 sy=850></pic>
<words x=10 y=10 w=500 h=30>
In short, Spaced Repetition = testing + time.
</words>
<words x=10 y=220 w=500 h=90>
You test yourself on a fact again and again, spacing out your repetitions over time.
(Wouldn't this take forever? Ah, but as we'll see later, there's a trick...)
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=400 h=400>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=0 sy=1200></pic>
<words x=10 y=20 w=290 no-bg>
Spaced Repetition is free, evidence-based, and so simple you can do it with a <i>shoebox</i>.
</words>
<words x=90 y=130 w=270 no-bg>
So, what's the catch? Why isn't <i>everyone</i> already doing Spaced Repetition?
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=400 h=400>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=400 sy=1200></pic>
<words x=10 y=20 w=330 no-bg>
Well, the catch is that making <i>any</i> new habit is hard
especially a weird habit like Spaced Repetition.
</words>
<words x=100 y=134 w=270 no-bg>
That's why I made this badly-drawn interactive comic.
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=400 h=400>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=800 sy=1200></pic>
<words x=10 y=20 w=300 no-bg>
In this comic on Spaced Repetition,
I'll show you WHY it works, HOW it works...
</words>
<words x=110 y=140 w=250 no-bg>
...and help you get started with it <i>TODAY.</i>
</words>
</panel>
<!-- Ergo: SR WITH SR -->
<panel w=600 h=180>
<words w=600 x=-15 no-bg>
Also, throughout this comic,
you can test yourself on what you've learnt,
at spaced-out intervals.
<b>That is: you'll use Spaced Repetition to learn about Spaced Repetition.</b>
<br><br>
Like so:
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=600 h=400 bg="#e0e0e0">
<sim x=0 y=0 w=600 h=400 src="sims/multicard/?cards=intro_a,intro_b,intro_c"></sim>

<panel w=550 h=450>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=950 sy=1600></pic>
<words x=10 y=10 w=480 h=90>
Still, isn't "rote memorization" bad?
Can't we look everything up these days?
Shouldn't we learn creativity &amp; critical thinking instead?
</words>
<words x=30 y=320 w=480 h=90>
There <i>is</i> no "instead".
Cognitive science shows
you <i>need</i> memorization for creativity &amp; critical thinking.
(Imagine writing an essay if you know no words!)
</words>
</panel>
<panel w=550 h=300>
<pic src="pics/intro0.png" sx=0 sy=1600></pic>
<words x=10 y=20 w=310 no-bg>
Spaced Repetition isn't a "study trick".
It isn't a "life hack".
</words>
<words x=30 y=113 w=320 no-bg>
It's a way to take back control of your <i>mind.</i>
To make long-term memory a <i>choice</i>.
To develop a lifelong love of learning...
