The spacing effect:

The spacing effect demonstrates that learning is more effective when study sessions are spaced out. This effect shows that more information is encoded into long-term memory by spaced study sessions, also known as spaced repetition or spaced presentation, than by massed presentation ("cramming").

Spaced Repetition Software (like Anki) allows you to learn more things in less time – and remember them better, too. It's especially useful if you want to learn a large amount of things over a longer timeframe.
