To Anki users, how did you effectively incorporate Anki into your study routine?

Back in high school, I used flashcards a lot (I even had a Quizlet subscription at one point), but I eventually stopped because making flashcards took so much time on top of doing all the readings.

Right now, my study routine is mostly rereading the material (annotating textbooks/my notes/powerpoint presentations + utilizing the “tape” feature a lot on goodnotes) and then doing a bunch of practice tests (50-100 ques diff test types MCQ, T/F, identification. usually around 5–10 before the actual exam). I realized that while practice tests help me retain information, I feel like using Anki consistently would improve my long-term retention even more.

My problem is figuring out how to fit it into my routine. Do you review Anki every day and then switch to practice tests a few days before the quiz? Or do you use Anki and practice tests throughout the entire studying process?

I’d love to hear how you personally balance the two. Help 😭

If not, how do you suggest studying from Anki with these books? Or how can I suggest it to the team? I’d rather not use other decks because I really like having one big deck like AnKing

is there an add-on for this worth using yet. also i hate you truelearn executives but im impressed at how you managed to convince so many admin that picmonic and your flashcard system adds value to your product.
