Why these are worth printing
Paper does one thing a screen cannot: it stays open. A list pinned above a desk gets read in the gaps — while the kettle boils, between meetings — and those gaps are where most self-study actually happens. It is also the one form of review that never opens a notification.
What paper cannot do is tell you whether you have learned any of it, or when a word is about to fall out of memory. That part needs a system: the dependency-ordered curriculum decides what is ready for you, and spaced review decides when it comes back.
