I do my reviews in other places too. It is just that I cannot finish my business until i finish my pile (of reviews, of course)
I have one new method of doing reviews in afternoon: 25 reviews - round of gwent, repeat until done. After that 10 lesson - round of gwent.
I do the same with World of warcraft 
How do you control your level up time?
jprspereira does a pretty good summary here of how he controls level up time:
https://community.wanikani.com/t/wanikani-is-too-slow-and-the-radicals-are-useless-also-why-cant-i-just-level-up-in-one-day-instead-of-7/27040/51?u=gojarappe&source_topic_id=26099This is getting so shared I might have to write a better version 
Haha, get to work.
Also, on the topic of this thread, I prefer no reviews, a nap, and some ice cream. But since that is not feasible for learning Japanese, in the real world, I don’t really care either way. If there is a big pile, I break it into small piles of 50 reviews and conquer it slowly and feel satisfied. If there is a small pile, I conquer it quickly and am happy, but I realize there will be another big pile later so no need to be too happy.
Mainly by using the reorder script. For the first 20 levels I wanted to level up as fast as possible (also because I already knew about 400 kanji) so I did radicals first, then kanji, then vocab. When I hit L21 I was moving houses so I took a whole month where I didn’t do any lessons, only reviews. Simply not doing new lessons for a while really takes the pressure off. After L20 I changed my strategy to radicals + vocab first, then kanji last so I won’t level up too fast with a batch of unguru’d vocab piling up. I took another long break from lessons when I hit level 30. I don’t want to risk burning out, and at level 30 you’ve learned 1000 kanji with is a pretty solid basis for reading simple texts.
I disagree, a nap is good for learning japanese 
awww god, gimme the big ones, for breakfast, with a cup of tea, while my pajama-smell hovers through the house and leaves behind nothing but rot and despair! uowou
Definitely smaller. I do my reviews as they come in throughout the day so I usually end up with 60-70 at most when I wake up.
I think the rot and despair kanji are on later levels…
Which means only then I can get dressed and collect them? 
I have just finished clearing over 300 reviews after not having time to really get on top of them… never again, small review blocks from now on… my brain hurts.
I feel exactly the same. So long as the pile doesn’t get to be more than 200, I prefer doing one big pile a day than coming back and doing a bunch of little ones.
I personally like small reviews. I need to beat each kanji in my head for like 10mins each for me to actually learn it.
Definitely smaller. Around 50 I guess.
When there’s too much of them, I start loosing patience and focus midway through and start making a lot of mistakes.
On the other hand, when is a small amount I can focus better on what I’m doing. Plus, it’s quicker, so it’s easier to have time to do them.
Make it a thread, get it pinned, then linked in the FAQ.
Seems like a good way for everyone to be able to see it Will see what I can do. Thanks!
Smaller reviews for me - 60 is about ideal, and I try not to let it go above 100.
meh I Just do my reviews at work, I work at a call center so the actual job is just spitting out pre scripted responses to people all day. so I just do reviews between people looking for their account info or while they are talking… they all have the same problem so its fine, big piles make the time go by
