As somebody who made it to 60 in WaniKani and 42 here… some general SRS advice:
- Adding a bunch of lessons at once means having a bunch of reviews surface at once
- Doing a bunch of reviews at once also means having a bunch of reviews (re)surface at once
Solution: Ideally, do multiple small batches throughout each and every day. Maybe some in the morning, some during a lunch break, some when you get home, some before bed. You’ll be far more motivated to knock out reviews on a regular basis when you never have to do (or never let yourself do) more than ~20 at a time.
Check out this userscript thread: List of Scripts
I’d highly recommend the Planner (so that you know when to expect reviews), the Timer to keep you mindful of time spent (helps keep me on task), and the Copy script in case you ever want to copy the JP sentences (because simply using Ctrl + C picks up the furigana).
Do you have any interest in actually speaking or typing Japanese? If so, I strongly recommend adding even “known” grammar points to your reviews, purely for the sake of training yourself to recall the grammar during production (rather than merely during recognition, i.e. listening/reading). I find the biggest struggle with production is knowing exactly which particles belong where, with which parts of speech and what nuances… But that’s exactly what 文プロ helps you hammer out
I’ve been adding 2-8 new lessons each day, and have been averaging ~100 reviews daily. The system works best when you avoid adding grammar points that share identical vocab / identical meanings simultaneously. I’m working through N2 right now, currently discovering that there are apparently 15 different ways to say “from X point of view…,” and it’s hard to know what’s being asked for by the hint alone.
わけ and かぎる are similar examples. They’ve each got half-a-dozen uses, but knowing what they mean and which particles belong where will be a breeze as long as you add them to the mix a few days apart from each other.
When adding new grammar, I always choose the easiest grammar still available. The result? The grammar I added today probably looked waaay over-my-head 30 days ago, but today it’s merely the tiniest step forward I can take.
Use the stats page to your advantage, too! Make it look nice, and keep it that way— here’s what mine looks like:
Okaaay, I just really wanted to show off the 100k badge with the 2nd pic
