Good day people. Have you ever had a day where your free subscription, and your streak ends? And then an angelic soul blesses you with a subscription through the community pool, and then you get so happy that you finish all you reviews that stocked up (200 BunPro + 150 WaniKani) that you want to fall asleep at 5 p.m.? Totally didn’t happen to me… Because I’d rather study for my exams rather than spend 12300 seconds, or 3.4166666666666666666667 hours (rounded to 3.5 hours because adhd) or 205 minutes or exactly 0.1423611111111111 days. (It takes 15-60 seconds each review. The average is 37.5, multiplied by 328 = 12,300 seconds)
Am I mad that I still wanna do more?

To be honest, a pile of 2,3 hundred-ish is nothing compared to those have been here for a long time. My pile can get up to 1000 easily, while I have seen pile of 4,000 before.
Wanting to do more is natural, BUT consistency win games, if you can achieve 0 remaining reviews each and every day for at least 2 weeks, then adding some more new words each day is fine.
There is always risk of burnout, when that honeymoon phase of Japanese fades, only strong habit/consistency prevails.
