I try to limit myself to 10 because its the perfect amount to leave me wanting to do a few more, but Im not burnt out. Then Im motivated to do more reveiws in one day. I think to myself I could do just ten more. Im not sure how much i actually average per day because if I set that specific goal then I’m really Mad at myself for not getting there and it demotivates me. ---

Sadly, no. It’s a WaniKani userscript. I used to do reviews on mobile but I stopped because it didn’t count my streak unless I did it on PC and the streaks help me stay motivated. [[Userscript] Wanikani Heatmap](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-heatmap/34947) That said, I do have my own streak thing I made. I’m doing a challenge where I aim to do all reviews and lessons within a day and then I keep track of my streaks on a table I made on a word doc ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/a/4/9/a49f413fb030da2f68e9833072ede601d07b6234.png) ---

Well, at that rate it will take time. Even more so, if you reset to a lower level. Personally, I try to finish all available reviews before the end of the day. My understanding is, that is how WK is designed to work. ---

Finding the motivation that works for you is so essential. ---

Yeah with the spaced repetition. But to be honest that just doesnt work for me. I’m a mom with two kids, two cats, a dog, and husband who likes to boardgame and video game with me. Besides taking care of our house i realistically can only grab about 8 minutes at a time free time for myself at a time during the day until the kids go to bed at 8pm. ---

I was racing my first attempt as well, doing all available lessons as soon as they were available. Even with high accuracy the number of daily reviews required to keep moving was intense – I recall days with 400+ reviews… And then I wiped out! Hypothetically, say you reset to level 1 and started again, but this time you did exactly one lesson every day. Gradually your number of reviews would increase up to about 10 per day, and it would stay there pretty much the whole way though WK. And it would take you ~25 years to reach level 60. This time around I’m on a hard upper limit of 20 lessons per day, and I’m hoping this will strike a good balance between pace (10-14 days per level) and workload (170-200 reviews per day). Of course, if for any reason the workload starts to get too much I’ll scale back on lessons until it’s manageable again. I think the secret for you will be understanding how many reviews you can consistently handle, and learning to pace your lessons to match that. It’s better to go slower and maintain consistency instead of rushing ahead and getting swamped, especially if being swamped hurts motivation and consistency. ---

“10-14 days per level) and workload (170-200 reviews per day” 😳🤯😵 wow… you could accomplish what has been overwhelming me in a day :O. Although to be fair I hate getting them wrong. So if I get one of the two pieces incorrect and then immediately pause and don’t continue forward I look at the pronunciation and meaning and do a short drill before I move on to the next review. ---

My goal has not been to get to level 60 specifically. I want to learn and retain semi permanently. When our kids leave ths nest in ~15 years my husband and I plan on living in Japan. By that time I hope to be semi fluent in Japanese. ---

This may sound harsh, but given the constraints you mentioned, and you do not seem to able / willing to change them, and your goals being described as “semi-”, I do not think it matters if you reset or not. Other than the “high” number of reviews, but that really is just a number with little meaning at the pace of ~10 reviews per day. Eventually, even a after a reset, you will have a similar pile again. Maybe consider using something like a general vocabulary Anki deck with Furigana instead? WK is quite specific in what it tries to achieve, but I feel a more general approach may be more satisfying in your case. ---

亀みたいにWK を使っていますけど。一人で日本語を勉強します。‘semi’ 使っていますけど、本物のペラペラになりませんかも。私日本人 ないんだから。日本へ 住んでないです。丁寧にちゃんと勉強します. ---
