Spaced Repetition

Conceptual Framework by Hermann Ebbinghaus • Implementation by Smart Notes Team

Recall intervals to fight the forgetting curve.

“
Memory is the residue of thought.
— Daniel Willingham
The Criticism

Standard flashcards (Anki) are too discrete; they lack the context of how the information is actually used.

The Smart Solution

Context-Driven Recall. The system surfaces 'Forgotten Nodes' only when they are semantically relevant to your current project.

The Forgetting Curve

Information decays exponentially. If you don’t recall an insight within 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days, it is effectively gone from your operational memory.

The Smart Recall Loop

We’ve integrated Algorithmic Review into your daily HUD:

  1. The Morning Recall: Every morning, the ‘Ready-State’ HUD surfaces 3 nodes that are at their ‘Decay Peak’.
  2. Link-Based Review: We don’t just ask you ‘What is this?’. We ask: ‘How does this link to what you did yesterday?’
  3. Neural Persistence: This closes the loop between ‘Second Brain’ (storage) and ‘First Brain’ (mastery).

Mastery Result

When your spaced repetition is automated, you stop ‘Studying’ and start Knowing.

Deploy this protocol with Smart Notes.
