I've found Andy Matuschak's essay, _How to write good prompts_ [1] very helpful in making more impactful cards.

What were the key insights or surprises you got from that 13,000 word piece?

For background, I contributed to Anki long ago, wrote regularly about SRS in the late 2000s and got deeply into them for language learning for a few years. Later, I mostly stopped using them since I found extensive reading both more interesting and a better return on my time.

I’m interested in the topic but am not new to it.
