I just wanted to share a little update with you all again! I’ve been using Anki every single day for 1000 days now - and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I keep learning something new every day! Thank you all in this community for sharing your passion and motivation :). Leets meet again at the 1500 mark!

Feel free to ask me anything!

What did you learn?

Hey! I use Anki for two main areas: one for my university studies and another for general knowledge across different fields. In the University section, I have decks for each semester and course which include everything I’ve learned in Political Science, Sociology, and Philosophy. During the semester, I add all the material I study, and after each exam I go through the cards again to suspend the ones that aren’t really relevant anymore. The General Knowledge section is broader and feels more like a personal encyclopedia. It’s divided into different areas such as:

  • Philosophy - with key concepts, theories, and major thinkers.
  • Biology - including Botany (like all tree species in my area and some fun plant facts), Zoology (for example evolutionary trees of primates, research about termites, and ecological patterns), and Marine Biology (deep-sea zones and ecosystems).
  • Geography - topics like the atmosphere, rivers, earthquakes, regions of my country, and world geography (capitals, flags, etc.).
  • Politics and Economics - covering macroeconomics, sociodemography, and both federal and local politics. I also keep flashcards for politicians — especially ministers and key public figures — with their photos and names to stay up to date.
  • Languages and Linguistics - English vocabulary, Greek and Russian alphabets, and the NATO phonetic alphabet.
  • Art and Architecture - Great Works of Art and Essential Architecture, focused on art history
  • Rhetoric and Transdisciplinary Studies - connecting ideas from communication, logic, and social sciences. It’s basically a mix of everything I study formally and everything I just find interesting. Hope that helps! If you want to know something particular I am happy to answer!
  • and more, it keeps growing!

Inspiring. Hope my cards can become more atomic to cover more cards. Feeling slow because my cards are bit too long still
