>>38265Yeah. It was. And maybe I did. It's not like I don't know how to make new cards, but I haven't. Peaked at 5 or 6 hours before I turned down the new cards/day. There were circumstances, though, where having some dumb route task I could just drop was quite welcome. I don't think I could do that now.
You shouldn't diminish yourself. I had to turn down the interval modifier to 75%, and add more repetitions for new/missed cards, so that took me a lot more time than I've heard it take for anyone else. My memory is actually really poor, always has been, so I got a little excited about Anki. I'm going about this in just about the least sophisticated way possible, and I really haven't gotten very far yet, so I'm not really feeling any self-deprecating comparisons. I just picked up Anki on a whim to occupy myself without any real goal or motivation, so it's a pleasant surprise it's turned into this. It's like I'm really trying to learn Japanese. I'm actually reading stuff. It's probably stupid and inefficient, both grinding like that, and neglecting Anki like I am now, but hey, I'm still here. Still making progress.
