🃏 The standard advice for making flashcards — go through your notes, pull out key facts, write each one on its own card — works, but it's slow enough that most people never actually do it.
The faster version
📝 Take the note → ✨ Generate the deck → 🃏 Study with spaced repetition
1️⃣ Write or paste your notes as you normally would — lecture notes, a meeting recap, a chapter summary.
2️⃣ Turn the note into a flashcard deck instead of manually extracting facts one at a time.
3️⃣ Study with spaced repetition — cards you know less well come back around more often, which is what actually moves things into long-term memory (re-reading the same deck front-to-back every time doesn't).
🎯 Why this matters more before a big presentation
Flashcards aren't just for exams — testing yourself on the key points of a talk before you deliver it is one of the fastest ways to find the gaps in your own understanding, before an audience finds them for you. Once the key points are solid, rehearse the actual delivery with an online teleprompter.
