One of the things I’ve been using Anki to memorize is friends’ birthdays, but I realized after a few weeks that I had entered one of them wrong, in a way that was confusingly similar to another:
Friend A: June 5
Friend B: July 5 (should actually be 6)
Now when I study the cards, for both friend A and friend B I can consistently remember that their birthdays are one of these two dates, but a week later when I review again, I can’t consistently remember which one.
It seems like Anki basically did it’s job (I did memorize the date), but I memorized “too much”. Are there any good techniques to fix this?
