Spaced repetition
If, over your lifetime, you will spend more than 5 minutes looking something up or will lose more than 5 minutes as a result of not knowing something, then it’s worthwhile to memorize it with spaced repetition. 5 minutes is the line that divides trivia from useful data
Don’t use spaced repetition if you need it sooner than 5 days or it’s worth less than 5 minutes.
Here I list some ideas for what to commit into my memory using spaced repetition.
See yet another list with ideas for children.
