For Serious Learners Who Want to Remember Anything Efficiently with Anki

Discover how to create unforgettable flashcards, make reviews feel automatic and effective, and have stronger retention with each review

You’ve probably seen all those med students on YouTube using Anki in quite an advanced/fancy/helpful way and went on to install Anki on your computer…

…only to realize you’re SO LOST. 

Why is Anki so complex?!?

You find yourself reading the manual…

Now you think that you need to know how to “add fields”…

Use all these advanced add-ons…

And know what “burying siblings” and the likes mean. (…err, should those words even be in the same sentence?!)

Instead of getting started, you think that you have to know how Anki works “down to the bone” to be able to use it and make ‘good enough’ cards.

Yet no matter how many videos you watch, you still have no idea how to get started.


The confusion is literally compounding the more time you spend on YouTube:

  • How do I make flashcards for X material? What about complex information? Long processes? Lists?
  • Is this flashcard too long? Too short?
  • What if I’ve left in too much context, and it turns out that I couldn’t remember the information outside of Anki?
  • Should I break this up or turn them into several cards?
  • What if I lose the big picture?

You very well KNOW that using Anki can help you cut your study time…

…but it seems that making flashcards and reviewing them takes a lot MORE time than, you know, actually progressing with your studies.

But what if it was simple all along?

As an overthinker, one question that has unstuck me a LOT many times in my life:

“What would this look like if it were simple?”

What if you knew exactly which features were the MOST important to get started? 

What if you effective flashcards just “created themselves” at the same time you learned new material?

What if you enjoyed the review sessions so much that you won’t even want to take a break from it?

And more importantly…

What if you ACTUALLY spent more time learning and remembering than figuring out Anki all day?

There’s only one possible result:

You could finally start remembering any material you study…in record time

Remembering becomes a choice, not a lottery.

You start enjoying learning again.

You start getting your life back.

YES, it’s easy to get SO lost with all these YouTube videos and software documentation…

…but I’ve created a way that makes it just as easy to get crystal clear clarity.

Introducing…

Anki Like a Pro

Anki Like a Pro is my “hold-by-the-hand” course for starting and studying with Anki the right way — in less than 24 hours.

It is experience-based. Usefulness can only be seen in practice. There’s nothing in the course that I haven’t tested myself. It works.

It is lean. It’s straight to the point. I’ve omitted all the unnecessary information, so that you can take the course even in the middle of a hectic schedule.

It is practical. It’s not a bunch of theory that gives you a laundry list of “Anki beginner tips”. It’s focused on action. For example, in Module 1 AND 2, I literally SHOW you step-by-freaking-step how to go from “material” to “flashcard”. Same goes with all modules.

I made it for people who believe in keeping things simple and ACTUALLY becoming productive.

For people who want to start things right.

Thus, it’s NOT for people who like pretending to be productive by installing tons and tons of miscellaneous add-ons or learning tons of other features but forget to actually learn the damn thing.

Here’s everything you get in Anki Like a Pro

How much is my investment for Anki Like a Pro?

Let’s talk about what this is really worth to you.

What’s it worth to remember 90% of what you study — at your fingertips — for the REST of your life?

Think about it. Every hour you spend studying actually sticks. Every certification exam becomes passable on the first try. Every important fact stays accessible when you need it — in meetings, presentations, or critical moments.

What would that be worth to your career? Your confidence? Your time?

Let’s not do “hourly calculations”, but just the opportunity cost, depending on where you are right now in your career:

  • Failed exams ($300-1500 each, just for retake fees)
  • Delayed certifications/career shift (lost income)
  • Getting passed over promotions ($10-20k potential increase)

You’re the best person who can tell the exact numbers.

But here’s what I know for certain: The cost of NOT fixing your Anki system compounds daily. Every bad card you create today becomes 10+ painful reviews. Every inefficient study session pushes your goals further away. Every item you forget might be that point that makes the difference.

So I’ve made this simple for you:

Your investment: $100 one-time payment.

ADD TO CART ($100)

Not a subscription that bleeds you monthly. Not a complicated tier system. One payment, lifetime access, all updates included.

That’s less than a single tutoring session. Less than most textbooks. Less than what you’ll waste THIS WEEK with a broken Anki system.

My “Help An Overthinker Sleep” Guarantee

Okay so here’s the thing. I’m a MASSIVE overthinker (in case it’s still not obvious) and I care a lot about what people think about this course. It’s where I put my heart and soul, after all.

So here’s my guarantee:

Try the course. Give it an honest 30 days. If you’re not satisfied for ANY reason, just send me an email saying you want a refund + let me know what I could’ve done better for you. No forms to fill out. No worksheets or shit like that.

Why can I make this guarantee? Because in 5 years of teaching Anki to people, I know that the method works when you work it. It’s not some theory-based bullshit — it’s tested by me and actual students.

About the author

Hey there, I’m Al Khan, former engineer, grad student, and now full-time entrepreneur. Before I started using Anki, I was a failing student who “barely passed college”. That was my motivation to become better at studying.

Fast forward 2019, I ranked 6th out of 2900+ takers in the Electronics Engineering board exams in the Philippines — while having a life outside of studying. I then passed Grad School as a full scholar, and now writing full-time at LeanAnki.

I strongly believe in keeping things simple, doing things right the first time, and using technology as a tool to become more efficient. I hope to share this with you as well.

“Who is Anki Like a Pro for and NOT for?”

The answer is simple:

I made it for people who believe in keeping things simple and ACTUALLY becoming a productive learner.

More specifically, my promise is that you’ll have the skills to remember any material you learn because the course is based on general principles of cognitive psychology:

  • Levels of processing
  • Encoding specificity principle
  • Elaborative encoding
  • Cue overload principle
  • Chunking

…which means it works for any form of declarative knowledge.

So long as the idea can be expressed in words, I promise you’ll be able to remember it — as long as you do the work.

You can say that it’s also for people who want to start things the right way. Do things right the first time.

People like us.

In contrast, Anki Like a Pro is NOT for people who like pretending to be productive by installing tons and tons of miscellaneous add-ons…

…or learning tons of other features but forget to actually learn the damn thing.

I like simplicity more than anything else. I don’t want to sacrifice even a bit of sanity to track all of those hacks and minuscule optimizations in my head.

So, if you like focusing on minutiae, I’m not your guy.

“Why join? Isn’t this all available online for free?”

Yes, that’s true! But when you do, make sure you use the LeanAnki framework, because most Anki users skip straight to Step 4.

Most people make 3 mistakes when they figure this out themselves:

  1. Make flashcards for the wrong things
  2. Create poor quality flashcards
  3. You don’t integrate it into actual studying

What ends up happening is:

  • They take WAY too much time creating their cards— Creating cards takes forever, reviews pile up
  • They keep forgetting their cards — Pressing “Again” 5 times today, 6 times tomorrow
  • Reviews multiply faster than freaking rabbits — 200 Monday, 350 Tuesday, skip Wednesday, 800 Thursday
  • They can answer flashcards, but blank out facing the real deal — Can recite cards but can’t solve problems

Of course, I’ve spent my fair share of time, energy, and money to test the methods that I teach in the course, and I’ve been refining this since 2022.

You’re in good hands, but if you want to do it yourself — can you really afford to go through the same things? If not, try the course and see for yourself. You’re protected by my guarantee, anyway.

And look, I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the years on online courses and I can tell you — without a shadow of doubt — that coherence and knowing where to focus on EVERY STEP OF THE WAY will make the largest difference to your results than anything else.

I wouldn’t have made an impact to thousands of people around the world if I had just continued my endless consumption of videos.

“What if I join your course and decide it’s not right for me?”

You can email me within 30 days with your feedback & refund request and I’ll send you a refund. 🙂 I don’t want you to risk anything here.

I treat you the way I want to be treated when I join an online course — if you decide it’s not for you, you get your money back in full.

(I don’t even charge for the credit card processing fees.)

BTW, did you have other questions?

You can email me at [email protected] with your question and I’ll respond as soon as I can. 🙂

Two choices.

You’ve just been through the most efficient, “hold-by-the-hand” material to get started with Anki — the right way.

And again, to be honest with you, ALL OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE FOR FREE ONLINE. 

There’s the Anki manual, and there are hundreds of excellent Anki YouTube videos you can watch.

But just think about it: haven’t we had enough information already? 

The problem isn’t that we lack information; the problem is knowing the right path to take.

You don’t want to be 1k+ cards down the line and then realize that you have to recreate most of your cards. (just like me)

You don’t want to use a hack to “create cards faster”, and end up to a point that your reviews become SO painful, that reviewing each card feels like getting stabbed with a blunt stick.

You don’t want to have cards that don’t work outside of Anki because you didn’t formulate them based on your own understanding.

Just imagine how much all of that would cost — a WHOLE FREAKING LOT.

The way I see it, you have two options right now:

  •  Option #1: You can continue figuring things out yourself. Sure, it takes many months (I certainly did), but it’s valid and you’ll “get there” eventually, just like me.
  •  Option #2: OR, you can take action, learn from my experience, and follow a step-by-step roadmap that will take you from a total beginner to a pro Anki learner in the least amount of time.

Time marches on!

Whichever you choose, an hour will pass by. A day, a week, a month…a year.

But right this second, you can make a choice that could vastly change how you study for good.

As I’ve said before…

You could look back at this day and think that it’s one of the most pivotal moments of your study career…or it could just be yet another regular day.
