just saying hello :) and good to see you.

Hello, Joosep! Good to be seen… as my dad used to say! What are you working on these days?

At this very moment, I'm about to do an early review of Isaiah 6 ... I try to calcuate a rating for all my passages, asto which ones are the weakest, and then I review the weaker ones early by going to the passage list and clicking "Learn"

That is great. I love Isaiah, and it is quoted by Jesus multiple time in Mark. I like your process, too. My review process could use some targeted attention.

Keep the good work, Joosep!

Thanks :) I guess it's a little easier for me than for some others, because 1) I only work about 30 hrs a week (semi-retired), and 2) I work almost entirely from home. That gives me a lot of time to be on this site :)

I have a Google Sheet which has a list of all my passages, and then each time I review a passage, I rate it by finding the average of all of the scores received during that review session (meaning, 100, 95, 98, 91, or whatever). It takes a little extra time, but it also helps me to focus, as for each verse I'm then more motivated to score as highly as possible.

Then I go back later, when I have some free time, and put in extra review for the weakest passages.

That is an awesome system. I have been able to put in more time during COVID/Teleworking times because I no longer have a lengthy commute. But I have still not come up with a system that flows. I am working on memorizing the Gospel of Mark 600+ verses. I benefit from a lot of repetition of the earlier chapters, but I find it really difficult to remained disciplined enough to keep working through the earlier chapters. I image you system would help in that way - providing focused attention and tracking on each chapter. Thanks for sharing Joosep!

Thank you Moviegoer. It does indeed help. I split the screen between my webbrowser on the left, and notepad++ on the far left. As I review each verse, I record in notepad++ the %score. At the end of the review I end up with a column of numbers which I copy and paste into my Google Sheet, which then calculates the average.

The way that this system helps me personally is that I worry less about the weaker passages, because I know that later on I'll know specifically which ones they are, and will in sequence give them extra work. It also helps me to worry less about one or two weaker verses -- if the majority of the verses have a good score, then it's all well and good. My goal is to move forward the majority toward fully learnt.

I've also continued to add verses which are weaker, and "separated from the pack", as individual verses. That way, the passage as a whole comes up for review less often, and the weaker verse also gets more work.

Nice. When you have the screen real estate it makes the multiple app approach much more simple, and the workflow makes more sense.

Yes I am presently using a wide screen ... not a techhie so not sure exactly how wide, but it's a wide screen laptop. Also it's helpful to have a laptop with a good keyboard ... mine's a Dell ... I like their keyboards ... now I'm ranging far afield from the original thoughts. Anyway, it feels good to discuss all this with smb :)

When I can I use my laptop attached to a TV. I can have the site open, excel and a note app if I need to. I just haven’t developed that system and executed effectively. I’m with you on keyboards. I’m old school and I like tactile keys, and good definitive sound.
