Iâm a repeat offender! D=
First time:
I went full speed, going from 1-20 with only a week per level.
I abused ignore/mark as right scripts to the point where I didnât know half, especially from the later half of levels. I burned out, got a huge mess of a backlog, reset to 1
Second time:
I still pushed 7 day levels, but tried to be more careful with the ignore script. But went in to re-order abuse and when I had a burnout coming on I didnât stop leveling, just did the radicles and kanji, leaving the vocab.
I went up to lvl 42, but didnât do any vocabs past the 20âs. I had at least a 1000 vocabs lessons left behind
Honestly, I had âgiven upâ and knew I would reset again, so continued for a but for fun. Last few levels I didnât even do, I did âalways rightâ script (Canât abuse worse than that one! )
Reached 42, stayed there till I was ready, reset to 1
Third time:
Now back on lvl one I joined âteam 0/0â
I have had zero lessons/zero reviews and screenshot it at least once per level. Current streak: 41/42. Will get nr 42 before level up (have 4 lessons left, all radicles )
I try for zero reviews daily if possibly, on good days every waken hour as they come in =P
I took a breather every 10 or so levels, where I stopped leveling and just did reviews.
Still got a burnout! D=
Cause my brain sucks -_-
I am disabled due to chronic fatigue, but it comes in waves.
Reviews pilled up, so even though I had been diligent and gone slow I lost my retention as the items got lost in the limbo for too long. I was now lvl 31.
I decided to kill the pile with ânever wrongâ, push it to burn, and try again from scratch without resetting the level
So I burned all opened items.
4th try.
Now, still at level 31, but all items burned.
I started un-burning from level 1, first 1 level per week, later 2-3 to get them out.
At first I did all reviews properly. But as I unburned it all it got way too much, so decided around lvl 20 to just push to Enlightened (using ignore script for a repeat) and deal with it later. Theory being that all items I can answer correctly when they come back after 4 months can be properly burned and removed from the pile.
Now my incoming reviews was still a good time off, so I leveled to 42. Actually started leveling WHILE unburning! I stopped just as the Enlightened started coming in. I had zero burns when I reached lvl 42!
I slowly put out all 42 items except the radicles, and just did reviews for the next 4 months!
This is where I am at now!
Next week I will have lvl 31 from the unburn return, and at that point alk the pushed items are either burned or fallen back!
And since a good amount of the items have been repeated 4 times over I did burn a good portion of them
The leeches have been sorted and are now down in the active reviews again (Apprentice/Guru, some less leechy leeches back in Master or even Enlightened)
As of right now:
With âannotationsâ. First go, from February 2017, doesnât show, The data wasnât collected untill August 2017 =(
You can clearly see the burnouts, dabbing out to nothing XD
UB - When I started Un-Burning.
Numbers are when my attempts started, and where I reached lvl 42 (for the second and hopefully final time)
I was hoping for 50% burn by end of next week⊠But the 20âs had more leeches than I liked. Donât think Iâll reach 45% burn even. But have about 10% of REAL Enlightened items, with no push, coming in as well, so will have the 50% burn soon enough. Which isnât bad, considering 26% is still locked =)
When I finish next week I will slowly level again. Iâm now in the fast levels but will take my sweet time
I will do lessons when I feel like, vocabs first. Only do lessons if zero reviews. If I spend a month on a level, then so be it. I will not rush it. Iâd rather avoid reseting again =P
Confession: I still use the âignoreâ script. I canât live without it. I have dyslexia and English is my second language. It is too demoralising for items to fall back for typos/brain glitch (If I KNOW what the meaning is, but canât think of the English word, I check and see if I agree with what I thought it was even though I couldnât think of the word) I try not to abuse it, but I know some, especially Apprentice items Iâve seen one too many times, gets a push for âclose enoughâ at times, with a âIâll get you next time!â XD
If I had gone slow, not abused scripts and just taken my time, I would have been lvl 60 LONG ago!
Now Iâve been here 3 1/2 years and will probably not reach 60 before my 4 year mark =P
