I do my lessons all at once typically which I wouldn’t recommend doing. Mostly because reviews will pile up that way. I’ll do my lessons in hour increments with about 50% at 5pm and 50% at 6pm. I’ll miss a couple of vocab. But I’ll typically cram the kanji pretty hard. I have about 200 reviews a day, usually. I’ll probably wind up going the spread out lessons tactic soon. Maybe around level 20.

For lesson, maybe around 1hour (30-50 item), for review I do it as quickly as possible 30 sec 1 item (meaning & reading). So for lesson-busy day 250 item will be spent in 2 hours.
Clumping review is so useful tho, so I don’t need to open WK every hour. 3-5 times a day typically.

This closing stretch is like 2 hours a day minimum.
I unfortunately had 1100 reviews + 55 lessons the other day and it took about 6 hours.

Daily totals:
10-15 minutes in lessons.
30-45 minutes in reviews.

Wow. I pray that one day I’ll be able to do things as quick as you. 100 items in 15 mins is 1 review every 11 seconds! Damn. Good for you, that’s impressive!
I do take my time with the lessons, but I’m pretty quick on the reviews. I try to take my losses, going for quick and dirty. Only in the very beginning of a level do I take my time on the reviews as well. Not sure how much time though. As much as it takes to reach 0/0?

What’s this script?

I have a work from home customer service job. I’ll get times throughout the day where I’m waiting for calls. I have WaniKani on the side to click onto and practise. I’d say I practise as much as the lessons and reviews come up. Maybe between 1-2 hours in total.

The Heatmap script. You get those stats by hovering over the Time. Toggle the icon in the upper right corner to see stats for Lessons.

Around an hour combined, depending on the number of lessons / reviews. 5-20 lessons and 50-120 reviews per day average. Less time if I slow down lessons, mostly because I am tired from work.

Probably several hours. I’m not sure I want to know. I recently started the fast levels so reviews are really starting to pile up though.
If I have a lot of reviews to go through, I’ll break it up into little bits and take breaks. For example, I did this morning’s reviews in three separate sessions.

Useful! I tried getting there. Which icon should I look?

I’m using this script yet I never noticed that, lol
At any rate:
So based on last month statistics this would give on average 2 minutes for lesson (eeeee???) and 27 minutes for reviews, ~30 minutes daily in total.

Have you installed the heatmap userscript? Please have a look in this thread for instructions

Me neither, that’s why there is a setting for the session time limit. The default is 10 minutes, meaning that answers separated by anything less than 10 minutes add to the time spent.
tbf it’s a new feature since the big update

I’d guess about half an hour to an hour a day between WaniKani and KameSame on average, sometimes a bit more when a bunch of Master items come back all at once (like today… 233 reviews). I’ll spread out my lessons if it starts being too much.

It really depends for me. I try to clear all my reviews and lessons in the least amount of batches i can without overworking my brainhole too much, but i have a sneakin suspicion that this masterful technique will bite me in the a** once i get to the real hard hitting levels.
But for now, i’ll enjoy my easy levels

Will level up to 20 tomorrow and according to my hours stat on here, I am at about 115 hours for lessons/reviews together. Started 136 days ago (7 day level up) without a missed day so that works out to 50 minutes a day. As it was slower in the start, I guess it is leaning closer to 60 minutes though.
As I am also now reading 30-45 minutes a day on top of Wanikani and grammar (and full time job and other hobbies), I am considering slowing down and spending less time on Wanikani.

About an hour a day. Mostly reviews, and the odd lesson here and there. I live and work in Japan, so WK has helped me out tremendously.
