The Frameworks Lab
Ebbinghaus · Roediger & Karpicke · Joshua Foer

You didn’t forget because you weren’t paying attention.
You forgot because that’s what brains do.

Hermann Ebbinghaus mapped the Forgetting Curve in 1885 — 70% of new information is gone within 24 hours. The fix isn’t more re-reading. This exercise runs you through retrieval practice on something you recently learned and builds a spaced repetition schedule to keep it.

IN 10 MINUTES YOU'LL BUILD:
A retrieval audit — what you actually retained vs. what’s already gone
Your 3–5 keeper items — the things worth locking in
A retrieval question for each item — how you’ll test yourself on review
Your spaced repetition schedule — exact dates to review before it fades
