Creating your own deck is the way to go. Other people's decks never quite clicked for me the same way a self made deck does. A huge part of it is going through the material and identifying the pieces of knowledge that you actually want/need to retain.

Andy Matushchak's prompt guide [0] linked below is amazing. Supermemo's 20 rules for formulating knowledge [1] is great too, Wozniak is the one that invented SRS.

Isn’t it interesting how that “cloze deletion” technique described here in 1997 is what they use today to train powerful large language models?

(Obviously it’s been described even earlier, for instance back in the 1960s by BF Skinner, for “programmed instruction“.)
