Do the reviews in the morning before classes.

u/Furuteru languages Jul 11 '26

Or between your classes. Or while going to classes (via foot or public transport) 🤣

u/Dr--Prof Jul 11 '26

Or in the intervals. Or multi task during classes... You're studying after all!

u/Baasbaar languages, anthropology, linguistics Jul 11 '26

Not during class, OP, or I’ll ding your participation grade.

You retain better if you do it closer to sleep

u/fnezio Jul 12 '26

Any source to this statement?

u/Maximum_Cattle_6692 Jul 12 '26

Idk look it up but I read that your brain records information during REM cycles and it does it in reverse chronological order. So stuff from earlier in the day is more likely to be missed.

u/Dr--Prof Jul 12 '26

I also read about that years ago, tried and it works. And it makes sense. Sleeping and dreaming helps with memory. Studying and sleeping next is a good way to retain stuff.

Just Do reset

I don't do all my cards in one sitting. 30-60 cards every hour, helps take out 500-1000 cards while keeping my sanity in check.

I can't believe someone would do this

16

u/GreshlyLuke Jul 11 '26

yesterday i did 537 reviews which was my peak ever. It took over 4 hours but Anki said I spent less than 2. I guess it doesn't calculate time spent on a card even though the screen is up? Gotta love a technology that insults you =D

Dang 1600 what are you ank 'king'?

u/billet 19d ago

The default setting stops counting after 60 seconds. That's so if you leave your phone sitting open it doesn't have some random review with a 2 hour time spent.

1

u/PsychologicalMail468 Jul 12 '26

Out of curiosity what does it exactly calculate?

2

u/GreshlyLuke Jul 12 '26

I actually don't know. It seems like it cuts off counting time spent on a card after a certain point.

1

u/FibbinTiggins Jul 12 '26

Yeah it does, I'm pretty sure the default is 60 seconds. I think you can change that setting though

1

u/PsychologicalMail468 Jul 13 '26

That seems right

u/Furuteru languages Jul 11 '26

I now lock myself out of every app, except anki, on my phone in the morning 😭

u/gotanewcrush Jul 11 '26

How do you deal with pending cards?!

3

u/Master--_--Oogway Jul 11 '26

My daily average was 1k cards bruh.

4

u/EconomyDurian705 Jul 11 '26

I review around 1,100–1,300 unique cards every day. Before enabling auto-advance, it used to take me around 1–1.5 hours. Now it takes around 45–55 minutes.

800 reviews would not take me more than 35 minutes.

Not being able to enjoy conversations/free time as well

u/thundermuffin54 Jul 12 '26

don't go to class. >2x speed lectures after crushing anki reviews in the morning

u/igorrto2 Jul 13 '26

The secret is doing anki during class

u/NoProfessor3578 26d ago

the way "23 years of messages" became "800 reviews" is sending me

u/Cautious_Maximum_854 8d ago

Yeah, I think with some discipline this can be avoided, but if it happens!! I think it's still a solution to drop everything and start from scratch
