๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธSpaced Cue Stack Morning

Make It StickOverachievers ยท Morning ยท Morning BlockMedium

for the ones who want the daily spaced-rep habit before school

Goal

Clear today's due cue cards first thing so spaced repetition runs every day, not just when motivation strikes.

Source principle

Spaced repetition: short daily recall windows on a growing stack beat heroic weekend marathons; the interval, not the duration, is what cements it. : from Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger & McDaniel.
