After a few months, a bit of trial and error, and a bit too many nights trying to finish my reviews before going to sleep, I found that the sweet spot for me is around 100 reviews per day. However, I have been doing a very random number of new cards per day from 0 to 30.
So I want to know, based on your experiences, what is the best new card number that would help me get to 100 reviews per day if I am 100% consistent?
If your goal is 100 reviews per day, then aiming for a fixed number of cards might not be optimal.
Instead, if your review forecast for ‘Tomorrow’ is below 100, you add new cards.
If it is above 100, you do not add new cards.
There is no magic number for that.
If the goal is to have 100 reviews per day. If for Timmy that number is 15 cards, but you fail cards more often than Timmy, then your number of cards per day should be lower than 15. For someone else who almost never fails cards that number might be higher instead.
You’re also not going to have 100 reviews consistently. It’s going to be 80 on one day and 120 on the next, even if you find the right balance.
Just adjust as you go along. I’d recommend trying to aim below what you can handle, just because if not you’re going to have days with reviews above what you can handle as well.
