🌈 Spaced-Repetition

Now that my flashcard and retention system is entirely on RemNote, I wondered if spaced-repetition could exist in Notion without much friction. The answer is … sort of. A while back, I set out to put every aspect of my note-taking inside Notion. While the toggles are wonderful for self-quizzing, they just didn’t cut it for me. Below is my best attempt at creating a spaced-repetition system in Notion that I wouldn’t mind using.

Firstly, The Toggle System (Flashcards)

*Note: This arrangement is a template inside the ‘Spaced-Repetition’ database.

Questions are written in toggles (trigger: /toggle) and answers are inside the toggles alongside three checkboxes (Correct, Sort of Correct, and Incorrect). Inside my ‘Accuracy Calculator,’ I tally how many are fully correct concerning the total number of questions to return a percentage. This percentage is used inside the ‘Spaced-Repetition’ database.

Second, My Personal Repetition Schedule

  • 1 hour

  • 5 hours → half-day

  • 24 hours

  • 72 hours

  • 1 week

  • 20 days

Conditions Of My Schedule

  • If accuracy to "start" is above 40%, repeat in 1 hour, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy in 1 hour is above 60%, repeat in 9 hours, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy in 5 hours is above 80%, repeat in 24 hours, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy in 24 hours is at 100%, repeat in 72 hours, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy in 72 hours is at 100%, repeat in 1 week, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy in 1 week is at 100%, repeat in 15 days, otherwise, repeat now.

  • if accuracy is in 20 days is at 100%, file in "Archive" and repeat in 15 days.
