Thank you for writing this post. It has a lot of great advice I want to internalize, so I did the recursive thing and made Anki cards for it. But I had some trouble following your advice while ankifying your advice.
The tricky rule is:
Max 9 words for most cards. At absolute max, 3 logical bullets/18 words.
Even after very aggressive cutting, this card violates the rule (it has 4 logical bullets and 20 words):
Q: Steps when ankifying a rich information “thicket” like a textbook section:
A: 1. Make a tree 2. Make cards pointing up and down the tree 3. Add nonlinear links (e.g., other categorizations) 4. stop or repeat
I am not sure how to break this down further. Do you (or any other veteran Anki users) have advice?
