Overburdened by frequent reviews  —> LENGTHEN the time interval between reviews

About Me

I used to be a linear learner — someone who learnt ideas one at a time and relied heavily on rote memorization. 

For the three years leading up to the HKDSE (public exam system in Hong Kong), I would study 6-8 hours a day, a number that, in the months leading up to the exam, rose to 12+ hours a day. Yet over 75% of my study time went into endless Anki reviews and repetitive rereading.

In the end, I underperformed in the HKDSE. Worse, I was left burnt out and depressed. 

I decided to retake the HKDSE

I entered the year with one main goal: to completely relearn my approach to learning

And so I did. I spent the year testing and reflecting on different approaches to studying. I took ideas from YouTube content creators, stripped away the jargon, and isolated the first principle behind effective learning —"Don’t just understand ideas, CONNECT them”. 

From there, I began building a learning system designed around that first principle at every step. I named it Mari, short for the Mariana Trench— the deepest place on Earth and a metaphor for deep learning.

By sharing this approach, I hope to guide learners who struggle to retain knowledge, into effective learners who build knowledge that truly lasts.
