When I started using spaced repetition, I felt weird internal pressure not to make too many flashcards. That was wrong-headed: empirically, I easily absorb cards faster than I can reasonably create them (myself), and it feels way better to just create tons indiscriminately.

It actually feels kind of like a weird conservation-law violation? No matter how many cards I write, it seems I can soak them up by spending ten minutes or less per day. I assume that at some point I'll hit a limit, but it's way, way higher than I thought it was!

(Most of the time, I use a limit to introduce only ~40 new cards each day, which nicely smooths out the considerable day-to-day variation in my card creation rate)

What kind of materials do you use? Im finding it hard to find heavy weight index cards and all the thin ones you can see even pencil through
