I travel a lot for work, and privately I go to Japan for 1-2 months 2-3 times per year. I live in Europe, so when I go to Japan, India, China, or America for example, we are talking 5-9 hour timezone differences.
I have tried to work my way through Wanikani multiple times, but always end up having to start over, due to reviews piling up, because review times are at impossible hours (middle of work or night) compared to the “normal” times, when at home in Europe.
Is there a way to pause the system for a day or two at way 3PM home time and starting it again at 3PM destination time? Or offset the times to make them match destination time?
If you activate vacation mode 8 am in your time zone and deactivate it again 8 am in the time zone of your travel destination, I think the upcoming review time should be just like before. Haven’t tried it myself tho, so I’m not 100% sure.
As already mentioned, vacation mode could be useful.
Regarding review hours, there is nothing about WK that mandates you do reviews at a specific time. If an item comes up for review at 04:00, you do not have to do it that instant. It will still be there waiting for you at 09:00, or whatever time you want to do reviews. Also, as soon as you do this once, the next review time for that item will be at that time. I do not do reviews when WK says “hey, there are items that just came up for review”, I do reviews when I want to as it fits my daily schedule. As you do this, your reviews will shift to your new schedule (I also shift time zones for a period of time once in a while).
