People who haven’t used a memory system tend to think of it as a tool you might apply “when you want to memorize something.” But this misses the point. Without augmentation, explicitly memorizing information is quite onerous, so it's done rarely, for extremely important details.

With an efficient memory system, remembering something is a low-stakes decision—a fraction of a minute over years. Such systems wouldn’t be very interesting if you use them only to memorize the kinds of material you already memorize, because people don’t explicitly memorize much.

An hour a day?! Are you downloading others' decks? I find it's easy to get overwhelmed that way but hard if you're writing everything yourself: you can add 40 new cards a day with a 10m/day budget, assuming my 6s/card average.

Any strategy to avoid getting overwhelmed? I never downloaded others’ decks. Used it rather conventionally with uni material and words for language acquisition.

Try setting a daily new card limit.
