Rough algorithm:

Study 10-20 new facts today. Review them afterward (same day). Once you feel you “know” them push them to tomorrow.

Review old facts. If you still know it, approximately double the time until you see it again. If the last review was 1 week ago, next would be in 2 weeks.

If you’ve forgotten it either restart it (you really don’t know it) or use some easing factor to schedule it.

Real answer: get Anki and let it do the work. Tweak it as needed.
