Why don't I show the next review time?

Anki is a powerful spaced repetition study tool that helps users retain information over time. One of its features is to show the next review time for each card after you answer a question.

I will always turn this off. why?

He'll bias my perception. Showing when the next review is going to take place affects my perception of the difficulty of the card. If I see that a particular card won't be reviewed for a long time, you might subconsciously think it's easier than it actually is, and vice versa. This cognitive bias affects my learning process and the accuracy of my self-assessment.

Turning off the review time significantly reduces my anxiety. Knowing exactly when the next card is due can create unnecessary anxiety, especially if the review time is fast. This can distract from the learning process .

Close time allows me to focus on the study itself. The main purpose of using Anki is to study and retain information, not to manage a schedule. Not showing the time for the next review encourages focus on mastering the material rather than on when I'll see the card again!

Enhances surprise and engagement. Not knowing when the next card will appear can add an element of surprise and engagement to your study sessions. This can make the learning process more dynamic and less predictable, which can help maintain interest and motivation over time.
