Write Anki flashcards that are easier to remember

What good Anki cards look like

Most flashcards that fail in review were written badly rather than studied badly, and the fix starts with the basics of best practices for Anki flashcards: one fact per card, a prompt with only one correct answer, and an answer short enough to recall in a few seconds.

• Ask one question per card, and split lists into separate cards.
• Make the prompt specific enough that only one answer fits.
• Keep answers short, and add context only when recall needs it.
• Rewrite cards you keep missing instead of reviewing them harder.
