📚 What It Is
This is an efficient way of learning through spaced repetition and it also makes use of a system of flashcards which are grouped into several boxes and the review of each flashcard is based on a person's memory.
📦 Flashcard Boxes
Flashcards are divided into three categories: Box 1 (new/difficult), middle boxes (known), and upper boxes (easy), each having different review frequencies.
✅ Move Forward on Success
If you recall a card correctly, move it to the next box so that it will be reviewed less frequently until the mastery level is reached.
🔁 Move Back on Failure
If you fail to recall a card, place it back in Box 1 (or even to an earlier box) so that it will be reviewed more often till you relearn it.
⏳ Spaced Repetition
The long intervals between reviews, which are part of the technique, enhance the long-term memory via the spacing effect.
💡 Active Recall
Using flashcards to test yourself forces retrieval, which is one of the most efficient methods of memory strengthening.
🎯 Efficient Use of Time
Direct your attention to the hard items and thus minimize the time spent on the well-known items’ reviews.
🗂️ Simple Setup
You can either use physical boxes or digital applications — set up review intervals like daily, every two days, or weekly.
⚙️ Adaptability
Modify the number of boxes, duration of intervals, and rules of review to your subject or pace accordingly.
🔍Feedback Loop
Errors are automatically inserted into the frequent review category which opens up a constant cycle of learning and correction.
🚀 Motivation & Progress
The movement of cards to higher boxes gives a visible sign of progress and enhances motivation to continue studying.
🎯 When to Use
It is ideal for vocabulary, formulas, dates or any information that needs to be remembered for a long time.
