+ + + + + + In Greek mythology, the Muses, the goddesses of inspiration... + + + ...were the daughters of Mnemosyne: the goddess of Memory. + + + + + + + + + Meanwhile, in classrooms around the world: + + + UGHHHHHHHHHHH + + + + + + + Memorization gets a bad rap. + + + We all know too well school's "drill and kill" rote memorization. + + + + + + + But not only are traditional lectures & study techniques boring, + they've been scientifically shown to not work. + + + What if there was a better way? + + + + + + + What if you could play a memory card game with yourself, + every day for ~20 minutes, + + + which would help you store anything you choose + into your long-term memory forever? + + + + + + + + + + + Now, what if I said THIS ALREADY EXISTS. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + I first started using Spaced Repetition earlier this year, + when I begun learning French on my own. + + + Within two months of using Spaced Repetition, + I'd learnt more words than I did in two years + of high school French. + + + + + + + But wait, there's more! + A friend then showed me how to use Spaced Repetition to learn anything, + not just new languages. + + + Since then, I've also been using it to learn programming, + ukulele chords, poems, and interesting tidbits from articles & talks + I come across. + + + + + + + I've even seen people use Spaced Repetition to + improve their personal lives... + + + by using it to remember details about friends + (birthdays, pets' names, dietary restrictions) + and acquaintances (names, faces, occupations)... + + + or using it to remember what to do/not do, + to make new habits or break bad habits! + + + + + + + + so what's the catch + + + + + + + None! It's free, it's evidence-based, + and it's so simple, + you can do Spaced Repetition with a shoebox. + + + In this interactive comic, I'll show you + WHY it works, HOW it works, and help you get started using Spaced Repetition today. + + + + + + + Okay, the catch is this: + it's hard to create any new habit, + even a simple habit like Spaced Repetition. + + + But, I hope this interactive comic will help you take the first few steps. + How? + + + + + + + By having you learn about Spaced Repetition + + + USING Spaced Repetition! + + + + + + +Heck, let's practice it right now! +Spaced Repetition is like flashcards, but with a twist. +Go through these cards, and see how well you remember them: + + + + + + + + + + The twist is in the timing. + Spaced Repetition spaces out when you repeat a card, + in a clever, scientifically-backed way. + + + (we'll practice Spaced Repetition a few more times in this interactive comic) + + + I'll explain more later, + but for now, I want to say what Spaced Repetition is not: + + + + + + + + + It's not a "study trick". + It's not a "life hack". + + + It's a way to take back control of your mind. + To make long-term memory a choice. + To develop a lifelong love for learning... + + + + + + + ...to mother your own, inner Muse. + + + + + + + + + + + + +
