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 donāt 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 didnāt 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 wonāt level up too fast with a batch of unguruād vocab piling up. I took another long break from lessons when I hit level 30. I donāt want to risk burning out, and at level 30 youāve 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 levelsā¦
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 themā¦ never again, small review blocks from now onā¦ my brain hurts.
I feel exactly the same. So long as the pile doesnāt 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 thereās 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 Iām doing. Plus, itās quicker, so itās 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 talkingā¦ they all have the same problem so its fine, big piles make the time go by
Iām still at a point where I do all my lessons as soon as they pop up so I naturally get big piles of reviews and I kinda have to deal with it.
Iām fine either way though. When you have big piles you can get it out of the way and have a couple of hours you can spend elsewhere.
Meanwhile when Iām at work or when Iām out small piles are sometimes nice so I can just do my reviews between other things.
Both works, just depends on what Iām doing at that moment
I definitely like to do them as soon as theyāre available versus let them pile up. I try to do them throughout the day whenever I can. I see WK as part of my daily routine now, which has amazed me tbh (I am terrible at keeping up routines, although I function better with them). I do them on lunch break, after work, etc.
i prefer my reviews raw. so raw, they scream when i bite them. especially the kanji. vocab and radicals are fine, but the kanji need to suffer.
10 months maaaate.
But if weāre gonna talk about it, I do a big pile in the morning as they accumulate overnight but I try to do them in any 5-10 minute gap I get so they donāt accumulate. I definitely donāt take a couple of days break, like, ever.
