So… What does adding most of the N1 and N2 vocab deck, then burn out and have it all pile back up look like?

The reality is I’m using the reading mode to get some immersion. Around 2,000 items are Adept 2 or Adept 3, then the rest are Seasoned or Expert.

I’m reviewing using Ascending SRS Level, so one day I will have pushed all of the items to Adept 3. Currently review items come back too quickly for the total review count to come down, but it is getting pushed down.

Once I reach Adept 3 I’ll probably do random order again, with most reviews being 14-28 days before they reappear. This should be a large enough distance for the numbers to start going down again.

In the meantime I’m refreshing my conjugation and grammar with the Cloze reviews, adding 5 grammar points a day. So I’ve got my work cut out for me, but it’s a small step each day.

I’m curious about why you’re using Ascending SRS Level! Is it just to prioritize having everything above Beginner level? Doesn’t that bite you back in the future?

I was burnt out once for several months after last summer (life happening and reviews piling up), and trying to get it down when there were so many things I couldn’t remember was exhausting.

What helped to motivate me was setting reviews to Descending SRS Level. That way I could get down very quickly a lot of items that I was very familiar with and that I could review very fast. I’ve kept that setting since then and it motivates me more since now even if I have a ton of reviews, by the time I start to struggle I’ll only have to push myself for a few remaining reviews.

I don’t really understand what you’re doing or why you would do it— but hey, if it works for you 頑張って。
