Focus on fast learning and self-improvement

This website contains information about fast learning, memory, self-improvement, time-management, and more. The site was built around a new learning technology developed in Poland in the years 1982-2000 and commercially known as SuperMemo

SuperMemo: a speed-learning technology

SuperMemo is available as software for Windows, Pocket PC, Palm Pilot, on-line, etc. It increases the speed of learning, and ensures a high level of knowledge retention. The most important things to know:
