Understanding that memorization should be key for the reasons laid out in the article, would it be better to forgo note centered workflows such as Zettelkasten or Wiki for flashcard centered workflows such as Anki or Supermemo? What gives the most value?

I'm going back and forth between these two workflows and I feel like progressing at a steady rate before getting bogged down, not because I have difficulty with the subjects I study per se, but because every month or so there is an article confuting the previous one, prompting me to switch to the other workflow, slowing me down considerably, every single time.

I've been working for the past few years on an app that attempts to combine the two (Zettelkasten / wiki + flashcards / Spaced repetition). [0] I personally really like the zettelkasten method and it's the only note-taking method that has really worked for me. Being able to then take a subset (or all) of those cards and put them into a spaced repetition review schedule makes them even more useful.

Pick something that works for you and stick with it. There will always be aricles of people talking about what works for them, you shouldn't just drop everything and switch entirely, just incorporate some aspects of their advice that sound good to you.
