I used Anki for my ML grad (wish I did for undergrad). Formed a card for each subproblem of a problem in a pset, theorem, lemma, general concept, and definition---and for each of these things, using the 20 rules of learning from supermemo (? i think). I also used it for easily grokked things that I wanted to make a habit. Made a deck for each class, and also made a deck for talks and seminars I visited, grouped by semester.

Super useful. I feel like I don't really forget the majority of the vibes like I did for my astro undergrad. I remember GR a lot less than convex opt even though I spent many more hours of rigorous study and even though I revisited my GR material more. Revisiting my astro notes is still effective for those little details, but getting all the context into my working memory is much more exhausting.
