Tips on how to do the reviews

Usually it’s recommended to not do only one review session. Later on you’ll have 200 or 300 reviews a days, and getting through that in a single session is just mind numbing.

What I do is whenever I have any downtime, I would take out my phone and bang out a couple reviews. Maybe 5 to 10, however long I had (you can do a surprising amount in a short time). This happens more often than you would think and then I had a single big session (maybe 2 on busy days) where I only had at most 50 to a 100 reviews to do and did that at my own pace.

Of course for this you need to have your phone set up to do this on, and I do recommend stuff like back to back reviews (or even anki mode if you’re desperate) to speed up the downtime reviews. They don’t worsen the effect of the srs much, but they take the edge of reviewing.

Others do a 3 times a day system, it’s described here, but tl;dr, you do reviews in the morning at 8, with your lessons as well, then at 12 then at 8pm. This breaks up your reviews into 3 manageable chunks that fit neatly into the srs timings wk gives you.
