Coffee's Guide To:

"I forgot to do Anki and now there are TOO MANY REVIEWS AND I WANT TO GIVE UP!!"

Do not despair, follow my instructions and return to your daily intellectual gains

It happens to everyone, life happens, you are not feeling it, and the reviews pile up, and you never get to the end of them, it destroys your motivation.

All you have to do is divide and conquer. Putting aside the oldest reviews to chip away as you feel like it is a winner solution. Unburden yourself.

STEPS

1. This is the world you created, do not turn your eyes away. We are going to reclaim it.

   

2. We are going to use a "Filtered deck". Chances are you never used this, but it's a great feature. Go to Tools -> Create Filtered Deck.

   

3. Copy the setting as they are. In deck:"Deck I Should Have Studied" write the name of your deck.

   

4. "Filtered Deck 1" is a new deck with the reviews you forgot to do. Each time you pass a card inside this deck it goes back to your original deck as if you passed it in there. This deck is not going to grow more by itself. You are now free to do your actual daily reviews on the original deck.

   

5. You can reuse this filtered deck every time you end up in the same situation. All you have to do to replenish it with due reviews is clic on its name and then click [Rebuild]. If you want to return all the cards to the original deck, just press [Empty]. It's not going to delete any cards.

   

Review cards from the Filtered deck as you feel like it, chip away until it goes to 0

I hope that this guide is helpful for you, life can be hard but you can get back on track.
