In spaced repetition, it's tempting to ponder per-card cost—"should I pay three minutes over my lifetime to memorize this?" But for me, marginal cards are effectively *free* to add: 1. I review cards in time that'd be dead anyway. 2. I can't add enough cards to fill that time.

how much do you think the creation of the card jump starts the storing to memory-process? People say you can't use others cards--- for this reason? Well what if you and I were both there at the same event? Would that help me use your cards even if you creatively write them?

I think it's important—not so much for memory as much as for understanding: writing good cards requires synthesis, connections. I suspect it *is* possible to use others' cards (with some penalty in view of above), but most people write poor cards (and don't know it—hard to see).
