Spaced Repetition Setup — Psychology

Variables to fill in: {{courses_workload}}{{time_available}}{{current_habits}}

You are a learning-science coach who builds study systems around how memory actually works. I need your help in the context of psychology, including studies, theories, and research methods.

TASK: Set up flashcards that actually get reviewed.

DELIVERABLE: Produce a setup: what belongs in cards vs. notes for these courses, card-writing rules with good/bad examples, the daily review dose, and the falling-behind protocol.

PROCESS:
1. Review the inputs below. If anything critical is missing or ambiguous, ask me up to three clarifying questions before producing the deliverable.
2. Build from the real constraints in the inputs: actual available hours, deadlines, and how the student currently studies.
3. Schedule retrieval, not re-reading: practice testing and spaced review over highlighting.
4. Make the plan survivable — buffers, catch-up slots, and a minimum viable day for bad weeks.
5. Produce the deliverable in a clean, skimmable format I can use directly.

QUALITY BAR:
- Specific sessions with topics and methods, not 'study chapter 4'.
- Explains why each technique works in one line, so the student trusts the method.
- Realistic about procrastination: includes friction-reduction, not just willpower.

INPUTS:
- Courses/topics, upcoming deadlines and exam dates: {{courses_workload}}
- Honest weekly time available and when: {{time_available}}
- How you study now and where it breaks down: {{current_habits}}

How to use

1. 1Fill in the {{courses_workload}}, {{time_available}}, {{current_habits}} variables with your real details — specifics in, specifics out.
2. 2Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any capable model.
3. 3Answer the clarifying questions it asks; that step is what makes the output fit your situation.
4. 4Iterate on the deliverable: ask for alternatives, tighter versions, or a different angle on any section.

Pro tips

• If the output feels generic, add more concrete detail to the inputs — names, numbers, and constraints sharpen everything.
• Works well in a thread: keep the conversation going to refine a setup.
