How does one actually go about using the Leitner system without a computer? I mean, he developed it in the '70s, I'd doubt he was using a PC to organize it, right?
But it seems to be really difficult to work out the scheduling. I mean, sure, you move cards up to the higher boxes as you get to know them better, but when do you test yourself on those higher boxes? And which cards when? For example, if I studied box 3 on Tuesday, it obviously wouldn't be good to do all of box 4 on Wednesday, even if it's been 4 months since I've done box 4.
Did Leitner only concern himself with differentiating the classes of cards, not the scheduling of each class? If so, any ideas on how to organize it IRL that doesn't have too much organizational overhead?
