You finish a great book, an online course, or an energizing podcast... and a week later, it’s already evaporating.

You’re not alone.

I used to think that was just how learning worked. You absorb what you can, forget the rest, and move on.

Then I found a better way—a simple, science-backed way to train my memory.

It’s called spaced repetition—and it’s one of the most powerful learning techniques I’ve ever come across.

Not cramming. Not rereading.
Just reviewing what matters, at the moment your brain is about to forget it.

And the best part? You don’t need a photographic memory. Or hours of free time.

All you need is a lightweight, free tool—and a system that works with your brain, not against it.

Since I started using this method, I’ve been able to:

  • Remember key ideas from books and podcasts months later

  • Recall frameworks and concepts in real-time, when I actually need them

  • Build a library of knowledge I trust to support my writing, decisions, and conversations

Memory isn’t magic.
It’s trainable. Like strength training—but for your brain’s ability to recall.

And the secret isn’t doing more. It’s reviewing smarter.

What you’ll learn in this guide

In the next few minutes, I’ll walk you through exactly how to build a spaced repetition system that works—without drowning in review cards or clunky design.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to decide what’s actually worth remembering
🧠 How to write flashcards your brain wants to remember
🔄 How to make the habit stick (even if you’ve tried and failed before)

This isn’t about memorizing trivia. It’s about sharpening your mind, storing what matters, and building a mental library you can trust for years to come.

Paid subscribers can drop their decks or bottlenecks in the comments. I’ll personally review and help you improve them.
