Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it is just my notes after all. I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my "Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under version control already.

Spaced repetition
Spacing out practice sessions over a period of time is more effective than cramming it all in one evening. It's because our brain takes time to absorb all of the information. Learning is not instantaneous. We might know the information now by first practice but we'll forget it sooner or later especially if we don't remember it often.
This could be used as a way to learn things and form habits. Start small and improve later by practicing over small units, make the unit per practice bigger, and repeat until you're confident to move on to other topics. For example, say you want to be efficient with competitive coding. You can start with solving only one problem per 3 days for a week. Then, you can go with 2 problems per week, then 3, then 4, and so forth.
There are various tools to practice spaced repetition with Anki is one of the most popular tool. If you're using Org mode, org-drill is a plugin that builds on top of it to implement a spaced repetition memory system.
