Ageing of memory

Use your background image for better things

Only 3 percent left. After one week 97 percent of what you have learned is forgotten. This is called the forgetting curve and it was discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885.

An easy way helping to minimize forgetting this is to repeat what you want to remember. You can use background images to implement this. Follow these steps:

1. Create a markdown file, below is facts.md with facts
2. Use Marp to create the images

npx @marp-team/marp-cli documents/facts.md --images png -o slideshow/facts/facts.png

3. Use the background image functionality of your OS to randomly select a new image every day

4. (Add a shortcut for easy access to the background)

5. (Add an alarm when it’s time to look at the background)
