That's it... 2000+ reviews, and I'm just a child

Happy belated holidays everyone! :christmas_tree:

I’ve seen so many similar posts, and yet I never thought this would happen to me… but it did.
After about 2 months of inactivity during which I forgot or kept postponing the idea of activating vacation mode, I now sit on L26 in front of 2113 reviews and 83 lessons. It is scaring the living daylights out of me, but I will try my best to overcome this huge mess.

I don’t regret pausing WK for the time I did, because it was an important break for me. I guess I should’ve taken the vacation mode more seriously and actually used it, but if I ever go through the same event again, from now on I’ll know best.

Unfortunately, my momentum was left behind and my motivation is not as strong anymore (I’m afraid my accuracy will drop tremendously…:arrow_heading_down: :x:), although I do not intend to give up just yet! If anyone has specific tips for getting back on track, I’m all ears; I’ll follow the common sense of not doing all of them at once, until whenever I can see some signs of hope down the road. :pray:

ありがとう、じゃあね。

you have 2 main choices: do your reviews or reset.

do your reviews: lots of posts of people getting over a mountain of reviews. possible no doubt.

reset: you can reset completely. i reset to 1 and never once regretted it. you can also reset a few levels, until your pile has decreased to something you feel you can handle, esp apprentice items from the levels in the 20’s

here’s one big review post but there are more

Thank you @saibaneko!

I will try going through them for a few days before considering a reset. That, because maybe it won’t be as bad as I fear (I hope so at least), and who knows, maybe I will surprise myself with how much I actually remember. If my accuracy keeps dropping or not seeming to increase at all after, say, a week or two, I might consider some degree of resetting.

That’s what I did. I initially went for a month or so just trying to power through before I had to give up and partially reset. After resetting from 60 to 46, things started going much better, although the trek up the mountain is still very slow.

I’m glad to hear things are going better on your end!
I think my situation is not as critical (you were on L60 after all, lots of more advanced items that I imagine can be a pain…), but if I’m proven wrong I won’t restrain from resetting a few levels. It gives me peace of mind to have subscribed for lifetime.

I just finished one trial session of 360 items with an overall accuracy of 68%. Lots of items (141) were burned :fire: and I assume more would have followed suit if I had kept going. Although the bulk of it was from earlier levels, many of the failed items had me facepalming or thinking “ohhh, of course! …”, which I guess is a good sign.
I’ll see how it goes over the next days!

Don’t worry, the more you do reviews, the more you’ll remember them when they come up for review next time.
