Someone here pointed to me about this guy[0] who was using Anki to optimize his study. And now, I was using Anki for a month and I found out that I can be more productive with it. You might want to try it by yourself too.

I've been using Anki for a number of years now, and I think it's a fantastic tool for retention. However, I have never had any success with learning concepts that were new or foreign to me. I use it for testing powers of 2, port numbers, and cli flags, niche python syntax. For learning "new" skills, I would say reading books and watching lectures is the best way for me.
