what do you mean rarely have time for importing? going to anki import file it takes maybe 30 secs?

Coursera is fine, just fine. I took intro to model thinking and game theory and they’ve put some thought into it. Udacity is better, cs101 is the best online course out there afaik. intro to ai, is so-so
Yes, I forgot that one, quite good indeed
Vienna Meetup: Saturday 9th March
Maybe a mod can help with that, I confess to my ignorance: I don’t know how to make that happen

Done. Thank you.
English, yes.

Please pm me your email and I will forward it, no idea why it didn’t go trough.

I expected a pointing at a solution. Nothing came. I can imagine some books have higher priority than others. I can also imagine that some insights have higher priority than others (in my case, more than 20 insights a day get forgotten, so I have to put an upper bound on how much I learn per day).
Looking at what people you already consider bright recommend most highly might be a way.
Rationalists should win, I feel your pain, but sketch me a solution.
Upvoted, but it felt more like a lament than a stab at a problem. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
benthamite, have you had success using decks you have not built yourself?
I once tried with the list of cognitive biases, and again with german and it was an atrocious experience. I thought then that I was violating rule 2:
“Learn before you memorize Before you proceed with memorizing individual facts and rules, you need to build an overall picture of the learned knowledge. Only when individual pieces fit to build a single coherent structure, will you be able to dramatically reduce the learning time. This is closely related to the problem comprehension mentioned in Rule 1: Do not learn if you do not understand. A single separated piece of your picture is like a single German word in the textbook of history.
Do not start from memorizing loosely related facts! First read a chapter in your book that puts them together (e.g. the principles of the internal combustion engine). Only then proceed with learning using individual questions and answers (e.g. What moves the pistons in the internal combustion engine?), etc.”
Maybe it is possible to study the material by yourself first and then use someone else’s deck—experience will tell, for me it doesn’t work. Then again I can imagine that different people build different models of the same information and thus require different cards.
If you had success (or not) using other’s people decks please reply (also mention which subject—I predict something like multiplication tables or such that is just “hard memorizing” and little understanding is easier)
Thank you all for your responses. I’ve updated my estimate that this is just a me-problem.
I did try it once. It was less bad than german but still bad: I memorized, but only after actually reading up on them I knew what I meant—leading me to think that I ended up not saving time in the long run, for if I had written them myself my memorization would probably be better.
I will try it again. For science.
Thank you, this is my experience—it feels stressful. Updated prob.
I’d like to know why this is getting downvoted. I think you are making a serious point in a short, funny manner. I actually preferred this to your longer posts.
I’ve seen insane-er stuff argued seriously before.
Upvoted.
highly discourage this method. “reviewing” starts taking too long and one starts procrastinating.
i copy and paste stuff i want to learn to a text file, and when i have down time go into it and turn it into question/answer/tag.
once everything is done i import it into anki
