Anki is great. However I am getting a little bit tired after the years. I now use it more as my knowledge base.

This inspires me to start creating cards as well.

> Today, my Anki has 4415 cards and grows everyday. I have spent 186 hours studying, I have made around 35K card reviews.

Do you have any personal reflections on what sort of cards worked for you, and how you'd chunk the information or any other tips in using it?

My main tip would be: whatever is important for you, should be placed into Anki. We, men forget everything. Specially important useful things. Women never forget, specially married ones, that's why they don't use Anki haha.

I would also suggest to try to create plain text cards. In the future it would be easier to search for material that you know is there but that you don't recall exactly.
