Spaced proof review takes a lot of effort to implement even if done correctly. One of the mistakes one can make is to choose problems which aren't worth solving over and over.

Properties of good problems:

  • The problem is easy
  • The problem is "fun"
  • The problem is fundamental/important

Easy/fun problems are good for helping you build up and keeping the habit of spaced proof review.

Properties of bad problems:

  • There's a lot of fiddly details that are challenging to get right on the spot.
  • Problems which give you a sense of dread or some sort of "ugh" reaction.
