For anyone looking to start their Anki journey, or extend on existing knowledge, I recommend the following read http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html

It's worth noting, the author actually suggests against using others anki packs. They should be a personal experience.

None the less I think these kind of things, are useful to find any gaps, and provide inspiration on how to structure your own collection.

I've been using Anki since 2009, and after about 2014 or 2015 I stopped using other people's decks. I find that the information that I put into Anki is much better retained, as it forces one to comprehend, not just memorize.

I find that the process of creating and curating the cards is as much (if not more) important than the cards themselves. My practice with anki then has some ''meat' to hang my memory off.
