I do a batch of lessons each morning, and I like to space out my reviews through the day. Since review times round down to the previous hour, my reviews tend to march backwards in time. For example, if I review Apprentice 2 items at 7pm one day, I’ll have Apprentice 3 reviews available at 6pm the next day, and then Apprentice 4 reviews at 5pm two days later, and so on…
I don’t always do reviews the same hour they are unlocked, but if I manage to do it for a while then I end up with days like this:
For better representation I will show you tomorrows forecast for me:
I don’t have time to do reviews throughout the day. I do them in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. I tackle new lessons in the morning. This is then also reflected in my reviews.
I used to do this but timing messed everything up. Whenever I had free lessons I would always wait for a free slot in 4 hours to do them to balance them out.
When I ran through WK I did them as soon as they appeared, hour for hour pretty much. Rarely leave my computer so that was kind of easy. That makes procrastination fairly hard since it’s just a little more, a little more, a little more and the satisfaction of having a clear schedule made it worth it to just go through them. That way I always ended up with a clear schedule and not a massive batch of reviews hanging over my shoulder.
I do. I usually time my lessons and reviews (in small batches of 5) to spread them as much as I can.
It’s just easier for me to do very small sessions throughout the day than to sit down and go through a whole pile once or twice.
I review three times a day, mornings around 7 or 8am, then 12 or 1pm and evenings around 8 or 9pm. If I have reviews coming at different times I ignore them and clear them on those 3 brackets.
I also always do my lessons during my lunch break (unless it’s a weekend), so I always mess up the second SRS stage because I wait until the next morning to review instead of 1am or 2am. It works for me, and I’m not in a rush to clear the levels.
I do something similar, but I prefer to start the day with my lessons (usually around 8 am, when I’m having breakfast). So I do the new lesson reviews at around 12~1 pm, and then the next one in the evening at 8~9 pm. Anything that comes at night/morning I’ll do before work, so at around 9 am. I just don’t like having reviews coming at all times in the day, because I know I’ll want to do them as soon as possible, and that just messes with my rhythm. I do occasionally do additional evening reviews, but only if I have too many items to review (I don’t like doing large review batches at night, since I’m usually tired by then.)
What I usually do is I do most of my review at 8pm (about 60 items, 70-80 if there are radicals) and then do lessons (10 items(except for radicals in which case i binge all of them at once)) and do another review the next morning (usually 10-15 items)
