It's striking how rapidly I can generate a large number of spaced repetition prompts using clozes when writing prose notes like notes.andymatuschak.org/The_cognitive_.
I notice that I have to write carefully (eg to avoid "giving away" deletions), and the prompts are lower-quality. But fast!

More notes on these "cloze sentences", trying to do double duty as both prompts and (meager) prose.

Anki allows you to write hints that show in clozes, e.g. if you write
"The {{c1::hippocampus::part of brain}} looks much like a seahorse}}"
Anki shows "The [part of brain] looks much like a seahorse" which helps with some of the downsides of clozes.
