    “

    The trick isn't writing more; it's about lightweight capture while you listen and then turning those 'breadcrumbs' into flashcards for spaced repetition. You’re essentially outsourcing the labor-intensive part of note-taking to AI to turn your commute into a knowledge factory.

    Pregunta de entrada

    I want to learn the optimal way to take notes and then get those notes into flashcard spaced repetition software I use. (Like anki). I do most of my learning from audiobooks and podcasts like this one. When I'm listening and hear something I want to retain, what's the optimal way to capture it as a note, and then turn that info into something I can review in my spaced repetition software to avoid the forgetting curve? I have an app where I can write down notes, how should I use it to capture?
