Fibonacci Dates

Last month [today is 9/10/17], I started taking my notes in a format similar to the paper version of SuperMemo. I didn't know about SuperMemo, but my style was based on Anki. Regardless, I needed an efficient way to keep track of which dates to recurse learning upon. I chose the Fibonacci numbers, which yield an aymptotic ratio of:

$$ \phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\approx{1.618033987....} $$

SuperMemo recommends a ratio of 1.5 to 2.0, so this is on the lower end of that spectrum. I'll experiment with this a while and update if I change my technique. For now, it's a nice mathematical relation.

See the dates below to know which days to review. SuperMemo recommends reviewing about 15 minutes per day, so go quickly!
