Thanks. Though I’m glad to spend less time on the computer doing SRS, I still feel far from Nirvana
.
I’m mostly trying to make a constant routine reading and watching these days. Watching is been easier to stick to; I hope I finish my novel by the end of the month at least. I guess like anything it requires constancy… no secret pathway to fluency opens when you quit the SRS either … 
Anyway you can check the post about Voracious for the how on picking words to review, there you’ll find also the link to the frequency add-on for Anki. That list is made from books; I was using another one made from TV Shows and drama, which felt bit more related to where my vocab was coming from mostly, but specially in those first 5,000 words didn’t make much difference.
As for the definitions. There’s an add-on called WordQuery which I used to get automated J-J definitions. There’s another add-on that does J-E definitons mentioned in the Voracious thread too.
Then lastly I was using the MIA Japanese add-on to get native audio for the words. It was the quickest way I had to do it in batches, the addon does a shitload of other things related to pitch accent, which I never played with.
There you have it… I felt it was a super efficient way of reviewing and adding content, but then maybe I’m just partial to this because I did spend so many hours looking for that “perfect setup” during the last 2 years. Who knows, maybe just doing some super basic version of it and just sticking to reading and watching from the beginning was the really important thing.
