How to write good prompts: using spaced repetition to create understanding

[Prompt writing is similar to translating text in that you avoid a rote or mechanical approach in favour of one that 'stimulates the right thoughts']

[A basic knowledge of chicken stock could include: how to make and store it; why it's important; ways to use it; some common variations.]

[When memorizing lists, write explanation prompts for each element to make generating the collection on-demand easier.]

[Some lenses that you can use to identify elements that are important to memorize are: attributes and tendencies for what makes it so and what's always or never true; similarities and differences between adjacent concepts; listing examples or how it forms a part or whole; causes and effects describing what it does and does not do, what makes it so, and when it is used; significance and implications relating to why it matters or what it suggests.]
