🗣️ Reading silently doesn't stick.

Words said aloud are remembered better than ones read in silence — the Production Effect (MacLeod et al., 2010).

Try this: whisper every new word once before saving.

Cramming one topic? Research disagrees.

Interleaving — mixing topics — beats blocked study for long-term recall (Rohrer & Taylor, 2007).

The news, docs, posts you already read daily? That's interleaving. Just save the words 🦉

Bare words = ONE retrieval path.
Word + the page you saw it on = TWO paths.

Recall doubles.
It's called Dual Coding (Paivio, 1971).

Clutio saves the surrounding sentence with every word — context becomes the second path.

Stop drilling words in isolation.

Re-reading notes feels like studying. It barely works.

Active recall does: cover the word, recall, then check.

Roediger & Karpicke (2006): self-testers remembered ~50% more a week later than re-readers.

Effort = memory.
