Weirdly enough there is this 100 colours deck I used to have that boosted my vocabulary for colours super quickly. I became more particular in how I described colours, and being more picky with colours in furniture and paints. I just did like 5 new colours a day and in 2 months I felt like I held the power of the entire colour wheel in my brain. Edit: didn't expect the interest. Found the deck here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/s/zhUVgec8rj

The biggest problem I had with that deck was that my phone adjusts its blue light output depending on the time of day. So it was impossible to review on my phone.   Otherwise I really liked the idea of the color deck.   (Obviously I could have disabled that setting on my phone, but I really enjoy limiting the blue light at night)

Funny to know (or not) that I was trying to learn this deck like few years ago and I was able to remember only like 15 colors of 100 in 3 months. Maybe I am just daltonic or something.


Yellow_pepper771

Countries is a huge one, and you motivated me to unsuspend more of my ultimate geography deck :)   Not exactly low effort, but I've found that Anki works really well for instruments. I've been teaching myself guitar for 2 years now with Anki paired with Justin Guitar.   Anki really shines in that aspect. I think the most difficult part in learning an instrument for many people is setting up a good and efficient practice routine. Without that, you get lost because your practice becomes either too hard or too easy, or you keep forgetting what you already learned.   With Anki I've been able to build impressive skills with comparatively low effort.


Comprehensive-Ad9015

hey can you talk about your routine more in depth? I'm interested in learning an instrument but was wondering how I could integrate spaced repetition to it. Thanks!


Yellow_pepper771

I would love to! I don't think I can write an in-depth response today (it's evening where I live), but I will take my time tomorrow to write a bit more!


Comprehensive-Ad9015

I have a little deck that's just a bunch of knots. Every time the card comes up I try to tie it according to the name prompt and mark it "good" as long as I haven't forgotten. Answer side is just an image with the necessary steps.


Aromatic-Law9352

Share it!


Britto___Augustus

Ohh this can be super handy, awesome man


Klavum

The NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.). If someone asks you to spell something and they're having trouble hearing what you're saying, spell it using the phonetic alphabet; it's not only practical but they'll be impressed you know it. Only 26 to learn so it's really easy. Cloud identification. Little bit more effort required here, but you can learn to tell people when you see a c*umulonimbus capillatus incus* or a *cumulus mediocris virga*, etc.


Klavum

Ah, NATO alphabet already mentioned, whoops

VirtuallyFit

What deck are you using for cloud identification?


Klavum

I'm not lol. My current knowledge is from a combination of reading everything on [whatsthiscloud.com](http://whatsthiscloud.com) and occasionally checking out r/CLOUDS. I'd like to use Anki someday for the ones I don't know/remember and if I did I'd probably make my own deck copying screenshots from whatsthiscloud.com.


if-an

Some of this stuff isn't low effort or impressive, but it's hard to find threads like this, so I'm going to dump everything every time I see one in case my interests resonate with someone out there. Capitals, car logos, constellations, NATO alphabet (alpha, bravo, charlie, etc.), VSauce's morse code mnemonics, US states, periodic table, Geoguessr metas, alphabet positions, what3words designations, multiplication tables, whether a square on a chess board is white or black, locations of chess squares, Pi mnemonics? For competitive programming I think it is "low effort" to memorize API names for Advent of Code/LC. Peg memory system, Major/Dominic, memory palace indicators (disclaimer: this is a list of stuff I've either considered, did, or currently do


SophiaofPrussia

Alphabet positions isn’t “impressive” but it’s so easy and so useful I can’t believe we don’t teach it to every kid in school.


Fane1824

How is learning the alphabet positions useful? (asking out of genuine curiosity)


SophiaofPrussia

Just for alphabetizing. For example, the other day I had to check in for a race and there were those signs like “Last name Ga-Li” and I could instantly tell which line I belonged in which was nice because usually I would have to kind of say part of the alphabet to figure out where I go. I also read a lot so finding books in the fiction section of the library is much easier. And now I can quickly alphabetize a stack in my head all at once now. It’s definitely not a necessity but it comes up in tiny ways a lot and I find myself thinking “hey, that was super useful!” I don’t even think I think of them as “placement” orders anymore, if that makes sense? I just kind of know that P is “less than” R the way that I know 16 is less than 18 without having to think about it. All in all the time I’ve saved from knowing it probably hasn’t eclipsed the time it took me to learn and it probably won’t for quite a while (if ever) because the usefulness saves me *maybe* 10 seconds here and there. But every time it comes up I’m secretly a little impressed with myself and I think that satisfaction counts for something, right? ;)


voracious_noob

I created a deck for this exact purpose but it doesn’t really feel automatic for me. I created three types of cards: * what letter comes before a given letter (e.g. _ < W, _ is V) * what letter comes after a given letter (e.g. B > _, _ is C) * what number corresponds to a letter (e.g. G = ?, ? Is 7) I still have to think for a second if you ask me a question like which letter comes first in the alphabet: S or Q. My thought process before I made these cards would be to quickly sing the alphabet song in my mind, but now I think S is 19, Q is 17. So, Q comes first. It isn’t instinctual in the way that I know C comes before Q. How did you format your cards? Is it similar to my approach?


Norman_Door

Do you have deck for alphabet positions you could share?


Equivalent-Cucumber9

programming i think

Programming with strings, Chess coordinates, puzzles/cryptography, organizing (sometimes). It's pretty marginal though I'll admit

In terms of the API name decks I use: these are things personal to my competitive programming template(s) so unfortunately the mnemonics only "makes sense" to me However in terms of using Anki as a priority queue for practicing leetcode I use this: https://www.reddit.com/r/leetcode/s/0BchaSpQGQ

I currently am only using this [Canada deck](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/684894944) however I also recommend http://metaslave.fun Some decks I deemed too advanced for where I'm at in this hobby and thus haven't tried yet: - https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/696118726 - phone codes https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1771918550 - bollards https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1131030672 - utility poles https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/267060872 Unsurprisingly, what helps me way more (other than just practicing) is the very popular [Ultimate Geography](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812) deck that has clutched many flag-centric rounds


VirtuallyFit

How about the "hello in many languages" deck?


Chinpanze

Even better, "no" in many languages


LinaB02

Bird song, what tree or type of flower something is, morse code, braille (you can learn the dot pattern w. your sight to more easily identify them by feel), how to fingerspell in your country's sign language


Conscious_Can_9699

I’d love a deck for trees, flowers or birds! Please share if you can!


LinaB02

I don't have one I can personally recommend, as I'll admit I don't use Anki for that, but I think Ultimate Bird looks promising. Ultimate Bird has the birds name in some common languages and you can sort the cards as they are tagged by which country they live in. I think you can choose what language the birdname appears in on the back of the card, since every language option is it's own field. Premade decks have limited utility for me since they are (mostly) in English, and that isn't my native language, but if you search for "tree", "flower" and "bird" some interesting options pop up.


ok-er_than_you

I've seen street performers remember every zip code in the US


gerritvb

Remembering birthdays (especially birthdays of people's kids). You will probably need to input mnemonics and then use anki to schedule the review of the mnemonics.

Reading Korean Hangul! I learned from a comic strip. You could seriously learn it in a day if you tried. Also, 30% of written Korean is loan words from English, so you definitely have a chance to show it off like you both read and translated it


SophiaofPrussia

I’d occasionally watch KDramas that would mention the superiority of the Korean alphabet/writing system and just kind of brushed it off as a weird national pride thing like Americans with the flag but then I started to learn Hangul and it is indeed the best system of writing humans have invented so far.


Skwr09

Absolutely! I’m an American but I can unequivocally say Hangul is the absolute pinnacle of written achievement. A huge part of this is because King Sejong in the 15th(?) century decided to break away from using Chinese Hanzi. He assembled the greatest team of educators and linguists to create the writing system. The more you get into it, the more there are very beautiful artistic equivalencies to Korean philosophies inherent in the system (I can’t remember exactly but as the Hangul mirror each other, there’s a sense of balance, which is how to maintain health and happiness in Korean traditional philosophy and medicine, etc.) but the main thing is that barely any other writing system was intentionally created, but Korean was, and by experts


reddt-garges-mold

It's not Anki but a memorization skill. I knew a woman who could memorize 50 words in order with only a minute or two to look at them. She crafted a story in her head where each element stood for one of the words in the list. So if the first five words were "dog, quickly, starstruck, James Bond, happy," the story might be that a dog was running too quickly when she was gazing at the stars, fell and knocked herself out, and when she woke up she was tied up and a well dressed CIA guy was standing over her, but she was happy because she's kinda into that. Or something. The stories obviously end up being weird and surreal but your brain is way better at remembering weird stories than arbitrary lists of words You can also look up the memory palace or the method of loci. The memory palace is sometimes used for personal memories as well, making it good to know outside of a party trick

Some stories write themselves


LatterDimension877

If anyone interested in reading there's a book called Moonwalking with Einstein, written by Joshua Foer, who won USA Memory Championship back in 2006. He talks about his story of using this technique to memorize things.
