+
+ In Greek mythology, the Muses, the goddesses of inspiration...
+
+
+ ...were the daughters of Mnemosyne: the goddess of Memory.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+So, uh, how's Memory doing in schools?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Yeah.
+
+
+ Not only are lectures, re-reading, and highlighting boring,
+ scientists have shown they don't work.*
+
+
+
+
+
+* all sources and links will be at the end of this comic!
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ But, there's another way to learn
+ that's evidence-based and fun!
+
+
+ It's a memory card game you can play, for ~20 minutes a day,
+ to store anything you choose into long-term memory forever.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ I first started using Spaced Repetition earlier this year, to learn French.
+
+
+ In two months, I learnt more words than I did in two years
+ of high school French class.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Since then, I've used Spaced Repetition to learn all sorts of things...
+
+
+ ...and this lil' card game became a core part of my life.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ In short, Spaced Repetition is “flashcards on steroids”.
+
+
+ You test yourself on a fact a few times, spacing out your repetitions over time.
+ (How it's spaced is crucial, and clever. More on that later.)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Spaced Repetition is free, evidence-based, and so simple you can do it with a shoebox.
+
+
+ So, what's the catch? Why isn't everyone already doing Spaced Repetition?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Well, the catch is that making any new habit is hard
+ – especially a weird one like Spaced Repetition.
+
+
+ That's why I made this interactive comic: to help.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ In this comic on Spaced Repetition,
+ I'll show you WHY it works, HOW it works...
+
+
+ ...and help you get started with it TODAY.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Also, throughout this comic,
+you can test yourself on what you've learnt,
+at spaced-out intervals.
+That is: you'll use Spaced Repetition to learn about Spaced Repetition.
+
+
+Like so:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Spaced Repetition isn't a "study trick".
+ It isn't 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.
+
+
+ Let's begin.
