SuperMemo will help you learn faster! It is enough you spend now 3 minutes reading this page to be able to begin learning!
For a good start, you only need to use two things:
- Add new - to add new questions and answers to SuperMemo (keyboard: Alt+A)
- Learn - to review the material that you want to remember (keyboard: Ctrl+L)
Start learning now! Initially you may doubt the power of SuperMemo. Trust it for 1-2 weeks and you will begin to understand it better. Add at least 50-100 questions-answer pairs related to your job, your life, or your interests. See how SuperMemo schedules the material for review.
Important! Learn will only ask you to review your material after a few days. For that reason, spend your first days on adding new material for learning.
Summary: The ABC of SuperMemo:
- Add new material with Add new (Alt+A)
- Be sure to review your daily dose of material with Learn (Ctrl+L)
- Cherish the blessing of empowering wisdom! (which in simple English means: Have fun with your new knowledge)
