Interestingly, this comment made me more excited about using Anki again (my one great success with it was memorizing student names, which it’s well-suited for, and I found it pretty useless for other things), because this comment has a great idea with a citation that I probably won’t be able to find again unless I remember some ancillary keywords (searching “blurry to sharp” on Google won’t help very much). But if I have it in an Anki deck, not only will be it more likely to be remembered, but also I’ll have the citation recorded somewhere easy to search.

+1, I used Anki before my CFAR workshop. had to remind myself not to call people by their names before they even had their nametags on. This was great, because remembering names is generally a source of very mild social anxiety for me.

How do you do that? Do you take their picture beforehand or something?
There was a names/faces doc circulated before the workshop.
