Reviewing 'when you remember' or 'right before the exam' means losing about 70% of new information within 24 hours (Ebbinghaus). Cepeda et al. (2008) defined the optimal spacing lag (10-20% rule), Kornell & Bjork (2008) proved the spacing effect, and FSRS now adapts review intervals to each learner. We compare fixed 1-3-7-30 systems with FSRS-driven adaptive scheduling in Memly.
Perfectionism keeps study sessions from ever starting — research frames the delay as short-term mood repair (Sirois & Pychyl, 2013). It's three distinct failures: procrastination loops, rumination, and threshold-breach collapse. Learn the 80% Initiation Method built on Fogg's Tiny Habits and Kahneman's prospect theory — plus three Memly patterns for perfectionist learners.
