One thing I've been doing in the past months, with great results, is memorizing passwords.
Please tell me you encrypt your anki deck, or something....
This could be a huge problem if your phone/laptop/whatever is stolen.
@Micaiah_Chang
I was also concerned about this issue, and have instead taken a nice medium path: After changing a password, I would try to log into the service at approximately the same intervals the Anki algorithm dictates until I feel the interval is long enough (i.e. I can reproduce it after two weeks with no reminder, which corresponds to a forgetting curve of about a month later). Just because I won't use the program doesn't mean I won't use the idea!
One hack I've been using is making cards like "How to solve exercise X on Book Y, page Z?".
For me, doing a lot of exercises only once has worked worse than doing some key exercises more than once, and by using spaced repetition software (Anki, Flashcards Deluxe, etc) you can leverage its systems to get an optimized "schedule" for solving/revisiting exercises for math, physics, etc, so you don't have to worry about timing issues (like how many sessions of studying, and how long/frequent they should be).

Case 1: All socks are identical (this is what I do in real life by the way).
Pick any two of them to make a pair. Constant time.

http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?ref=rss&id=2611829 Статья называется «The Curse of the Excluded Middle», но мне больше нравится её подзаголовок — «"Mostly functional" programming does not work».
Из заключения:
The examples shown here are meant to convince language designers and developers to jump through the mirror and start looking more seriously at fundamentalist functional programming.
(«Fundamentalist functional programming» — это чисто функциональные языки).
